help with processing grant to sudoroom

by Jake

i'm somehow in the middle of a bunch of paperwork for a grant that Judy and Peter helped Sudoroom get. We have been approved for the grant but there is a bunch of followup required, including documenting the things we repair (or try to repair) at sudoroom, and reading through the agreements and staying on top of this. i'm overcommitted so hopefully someone else can step in and help me, Judy and Peter stay on top of this, so we can get the money. It's $10,000 which is pretty important for sudoroom (and Omni) to stay afloat, since our monthly donations are not enough to pay our rent. -jake

[omni-consensus] Application to Become a Member Collective: TANC (fwd)

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom, this proposal came in today. I haven't read much of it but it looks ok to me so I would be inclined to vote in favor of the proposal on behalf of sudoroom. As our delegate to the Omni Commons meetings, I represent our collective will about issues like this. If Sudoroom discusses this then I can forward and represent whatever we agree on according to our own bylaws. I would love for someone else to step up and act as sudoroom delegate instead of me! I am not available to make all the meetings anyway so if we want representation someone else will have to step in in august at least. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2023 13:58:18 -0700 From: Daniel Tutt <daniel.g.tutt(a)gmail.com> To: consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org, discuss(a)omnicommons.org Subject: [omni-consensus] Application to Become a Member Collective: TANC Hi all, Been at the last couple delegate meetings and talking with some of you, but here's the official application for TANC (the tenant union, https://baytanc.com/) to become a member collective at the Omni! This is also going up for a vote at the TANC assembly in later July, so it would have to be tentative until then, but my sense is there is broad support! We could move in as early as August, though perhaps September is more realistic. Also, TANC is a 509a2 organization, which is under the 501c3 umbrella. Thank you, Dani TANC Onboarding Coordinator *1. What do you do that makes a difference in the world?* TANC is a tenant union, so we are tenants getting organized to fight back against the landlord class. From our website: We are a group of Bay Area tenants who are fed up with rising rents, evictions, and harassment at the hands of landlords. We are fed up with our neighbors having no option but to live unsheltered and at constant risk of police harassment. We want to stop landlords, developers, and cops from looting our communities. Capitalism is what connects all of these housing issues. Profit has been prioritized over our quality of life. There is only one way to push against a system that exploits our need for housing: we have to get organized. Together we can take collective action, and begin to force overdue rent reductions across the Bay Area. If you or someone you know wants to organize for lower rents, timely maintenance, end landlord harassment, or focus on any other housing issue—reach out to us. *2. **Briefly recap your history as an organization.* TANC was founded in 2018, and has grown since then, splitting into multiple union locals and approving an official constitution. We now have about 800 dues paying members and are actively organizing multiple buildings at any time. *3. How do you make decisions? How many people are involved?* TANC has various ways of making decisions, detailed here <https://baytanc.com/constitution/>. Organization-wide decisions are made at monthly assemblies or yearly conventions by vote of the membership. At least 20 people must vote to make a quorum for any decision, and it's currently rare to have more than 60 people vote. *4. Please include links to any organizing documents you may have: bylaws, mission statement, etc.* Same link as above, here <https://baytanc.com/constitution/>. *5. State your goals for becoming an Omni member collective. How would your presence in the Omni contribute to its purpose and Statement of Solidarity?* TANC organizes working class tenants, generally aligns with the statement of solidarity, and also puts a lot of effort into language justice. The union also has many members and should be able to contribute consistently to the culture and operations of the Omni. *6. What dedicated space do you need? What will you do in it? (For example: office, work space, etc)* TANC would be looking to move our office to the Omni. We use the office for union work, meetings, some storage, and weekly office hours. *7. What shared space do you need? What will you do with it?* TANC already uses the Omni shared space for our North-West local meetings and our conventions and other large events. We plan to continue doing so, and would pay similar rates while the OMNI is in financial difficulty. *8. Will you need to modify the building? (Include floor plans if that makes your proposal clearer.)* We've looked at an office space upstairs, currently being rented unused by the Chiapas Support Committee and the Global Woman's Strike groups, with the understanding that they would be happy to hand over the space. No modifications necessary! *9. How much are you able to pay?* TANC can pay $700 per month for the office space.
