Subject: [Friends of Awe] $10k grants for creative action against voter
suppression
To: <SF-awesome-friends(a)googlegroups.com>
Hi folks,
There are grants available (up to $10k) for creative projects to fight
voter suppression. From an associate:
*“Please tell people and orgs you work with who are in the creative
activism game. *Or anyone who could come up with a creative, effective
project to address the crazy voter problems that are happening all over the
country.
*We’re having an info session online at noon EST on Monday, Aug 31. *Zoom
link
<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83821567961?pwd=L2JaWFE4MGg4b1lIWEtoZkcydVVQdz09>
.
If you’re interested but don’t have a solid idea yet, do come. We’re
looking to share and brainstorm together.
Here’s a page with more info, and how to apply. We’re asking for *short
letters of interest by Sept 2*. Quick turnaround time, but, we want to get
these projects funded asap!
https://c4aa.org/2020/08/were-funding-creative-u-s-election-projects
We’re looking for creative projects that address the biggest voter
suppression problems, like:
- Lack of poll workers.
- Barriers to voting by mail - lack of voter education on the logistics of
voting during COVID, misinformation, disinformation.
- Voting safely in a pandemic - how can we help people assess the real
risk, minimize it, and/or quell uneeded fears that may stop them from voting
- Outright voter suppression tactics, especially in Black and Indigenous
communities and in communities of other underrepresented groups.
- Preparing people for what happens *after*voting - polling indicates half
the country may not trust the outcome for various reasons. Lawsuits,
challenges, contested elections, and lots of tension are expected.
*To combat them, we need artistic and creative projects that aim to:*
- Keep polling places staffed.
- Ensure that people understand how to effectively vote by mail, drop-off,
or in person.
- Empower people to confidently vote down-ballot in local elections
- Ensure that people know that voting is relevant to the issues that
motivated so many people on the streets in the past months (and years)
- Monitor election boards and hold them accountable, so they can’t, for
example, quietly close polls in communities of color.
- Cultivate engagement, fun, humor, joy, and community around voting and
elections.
- Prepare people for the unknowns that will come after November.
The focus is on states with a history of voter suppression and of special
interest in this election: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, but
others as well.
If you know of projects or people who might be a good fit, please let them
know. We’re excited to be able to fund great projects at this critical
time.”

Dear Robb,
I am a member of Critical Resistance and helping to support our
upcoming Imagine Freedom: Art Works for Abolition art auction, running

Please join us for this event coming up! It's going to be great--
there’s a beautiful range of artists and cultural workers
participating, ranging from our movement muralists and printmakers to
elder and internationally renowned artists
We are doing outreach now-- would Omni and any other groups and
networks that you are part of be willing to help boost this event and
be a "Movement Sponsor"? Movement Sponsor involves:
boosting the event and spreading the word: post on social media 3x,
share by email, newsletter or website 1-3x, and/or invite your
membership and base!
bonus step: contribute to our programming and messaging on “Imagine
Freedom: Art Works for Abolition”. Share a photo, a story or a few
sentences on how “Art [can/does] Works for Abolition.” How has your

photos, quotations, and make beautiful materials to amplify how our
movement has utilized art to work for abolition!
In return, we will list you as a Movement Sponsor supporter and share
all event info (viewing links, etc) directly with you. RSVP by

if you had more than 15 github followers last april you
can get $1300 in bitcoin by running these commands:
https://www.namebase.io/airdrop
you may not feel like $1300 is very much, but if that's the case then just give
it to sudoroom :)
something that's more interesting than that is the blinded signing (sort of)
that they're doing using your ssh key (which is how they limit the money to
people whose keys they scraped a year ago) is VERY applicable to Secure Polling
System's need for blinded signing (although they're doing it to RSA keys)
https://help.namebase.io/article/4vchu01mec-handshake-airdrop-101#why_does_…
anyway, everyone who can should do this, and everyone should give money to
sudoroom, and everyone should help develop secure polling system.

(sudo room could be meeting on Wednesdays, and had one virtual hangout the
other week, but this really needs to be stewarded)
Please help!

I just found a hefty Honeywell HEPA air filter on the side of the road.
Looks very clean and works great!
It's running in sudo room now.
Thanks to Robb for bringing it in since it was too big to carry on my bike
:)

I've just stumbled across this:
https://cryptoseek.co/
It's a blockchain based treasure hunt around the bay area ...
I thought it's really clever and was wondering if you guys knew about it,
or the person(s) who made it?
