Re: [sudo-discuss] [sudo-board] CA Non-profit & 501c(3) status

by yar

I was checking back on this thread, and I realized I made a grave error. I sent my reply to the board list, but not sudo-discuss, and Whitney is not on the board list. Sorry Whitney! Here is my reply with the info you asked from 4 months ago. >.< On Jul 17, 2014, at 10:28 AM, Whitney Lawrence <whitneyel3(a)gmail.com> wrote: > http://www.hurwitassociates.com/l_s_annual_ca.php > http://www.irs.gov/uac/Form-1023,-Application-for-Recognition-of-Exemption-… > http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/charities/charitable/rrf1_form… Thanks Whitney!

Sudoroom incorporated last year as a California Nonprofit, which is structured with the intent to apply for federal 501c3. This year we officially decided to do it, after many months of arguing over whether other subsections (501c4, etc) were a better fit. But we never actually followed up with the IRS. We still have to file our 1023 to officially ask for 501c3 status. THEN begins the multi-year process of waiting for approval. But we haven't even entered the waiting room yet. It's a very long-standing action item. Let's do it!

Legally, the board needs to meet once per year, there's a lot of people we need to get in the same room, and we're running out of year. So let's maybe schedule something now? I think it should be a Wednesday at 7pm to coincide with the general Sudo meeting. I made a doodle with every Wednesday for the rest of the year: http://doodle.com/gdpr6kkrzwaapmey Everybody on the board, please check the Wednesdays that work for you. Thanks!

attempted robbery outside omni

by Jake

Last night, Sunday Oct. 12th at about 11:30 PM about four of us were sitting outside omni on the chairs behind the stop sign. A few people came up on a diagonal path toward us, but many of them did not seem headed toward us. One person seemed to be pulling or pushing another younger person with him, and they were headed closest to us. Then this guy started acting weird, stuck both of his hands deep into his pants (which were very loose) and started moving in and out of peoples personal spaces. He said something i don't remember, and I asked him what he was doing. but then he said "How much money y'all got?" everyone answered "none, we don't have any money." making it clear that we were not intimidated. He said he was going to "blast" the place up, trying to suggest that he had a gun and he was going to start shooting. I don't think any of the other people in his group were supporting his actions, at least they were not close to us. Maybe the small person he had been pushing/pulling but i don't remember. Then he started getting in my personal space, and I thought that he might try something physical with us, or try to grab someone's bag (like mine) so the next time he moved back, I jumped up and ran inside the omni, yelling "I AM CALLING THE POLICE!" out the door. I think he moved to grab or follow me inside, but the others outside stood up and complicated things for him. I ran inside and stashed my bag and told people inside to come outside right away. Someone grabbed a fire extinguisher in case a weapon was needed, but when we got outside he was already leaving I think. The point is, we should discuss best practices in situations like these, and also discuss a sign that should be placed inside the omni advising people who will be sitting outside to prepare for this type of situation. probably a sign reminding people of the possibility of this or worse happening, and a suggestion to avoid being alone outside, especially with your laptop or phone out, especially late at night, unless you are aware and prepared for what might happen. this situation worked out well enough, but it could have gone differently. this certainly will not be the last time something like this happens. -jake

Beehive Design Collective: Bees swarm Bay Area with new graphic and tour! Oct 19-21

by Jake

this is happening! a great example of empowered people using creativity to solve problems. The bees do intense research on subjects like mountaintop removal coal mining and now, California Water Politics (which i haven't seen yet) and then they make a giant poster with compelling artwork that makes it easy to see the big picture. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:37:47 -0700 From: Sakura Saunders <sakura.saunders(a)gmail.com> To: Beehive Design Collective <pollinators(a)beehivecollective.org> Subject: Bees swarm Bay Area with new graphic and tour! Oct 19-21 PLEASE FORWARD! We have some exciting news: the Bees will be swarming the Bay Area with a new graphic and tour focused on California water politics in the midst of a massive drought. Sucked Dry: Examining Drought and Privatization from Mesoamérica to California, draws inspiration from struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects throughout MesoAmerica, connecting local and the global struggle for control and protection of water. Oct 19: 2pm Dolores Park, SF Oct 20: 6:30pm Greenpeace warehouse, 955 7th St., W. Oakland co-sponsored by Rising Tide Oct 21: 5:30pm Gill Tract Farm, Albany (at the intersection of Marin & San Pablo) co-sponsored by Food & Water Watch & California Student Sustainability Coalition About the tour: California is in the midst of a historical drought, the most severe the region has had in the last 500 years. This water crisis has devastated resources, with several communities facing the prospect of running dry. A number of projects advocating infrastructure development such as the BDCP and Prop 1 have been proposed as solutions for the state, but are they truly in the interests for all? What are their impacts to our drying rivers and reservoirs? Fisheries and communities? Drawing inspiration from struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects throughout MesoAmerica, the Bees will take you on a visual journey touching on the local and the global struggle for control and protection of water. We will also be introducing a *brand new graphic* (still in draft form) that deals specifically with the fight to stop the Tunnel project that threatens the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta About the Bees Based out of small-town Machias across the country in rural Maine, the Beehive Design Collective is an all-volunteer organization of activists, artists, educators and organizers. Our main focus is creating and presenting graphic works about global issues internationally. These portable murals are teeming with intricate images of plants and animals, illustrating surreal but meticulously researched scenes of sociocultural realities in the modern world. Not only are our graphics detailed, beautiful works of art, but they also are tools in understanding the big picture of a region's struggles.
