Ryan Jason Martin has been safe-space banned from sudo room, and thus from
the Omni Commons.
The following is the consensus decision from last night's sudo room meeting:
"The sudoroom community stands by our existing safe space ban of Ryan
Martin for reasons of prolonged intimidation and harassment. We will seek
more information, but prioritize supporting our long-time community
members. The ban will continue unless it's overturned by a member vote at a
future sudoroom meeting."
I currently …
[View More]do not have any photo to share but Ryan has been informed of
this decision and I have no reason to believe that he will attempt to gain
access to the Omni in the future.

Some issues have been brought up relating to safe space that deserve our
attention.
If you are a sudo room member it would be great if you could show up this
Wednesday at 7 pm for a meeting or be available online.
Normally we'd deal with these things on the second Wednesday of the month
but I don't think it's fair for anyone involved to drag out a safe space
issue if we can avoid it.

Hi sudoers!
A documentary crew will be at Counter Culture Labs on Sunday October 29th
starting at 2 pm, shooting video until around 5 pm.
We'd really appreciate it if people could be quiet during that time :)
We will ensure that no sudo folk get into the video unless we get their
consent.
Thanks in advance!

Hey omninoms,
I've gotten backlogged on work this past week and apologize for the urgency
of this email. Tonight or tomorrow I'll be sending along two proposals that
require relatively rapid response.
Unfortunately, I'm still waiting back on final feedback from Jesse (our
lawyer) and a written proposal from The Village, but I wanted to send
something out tonight so that it's on folks' radar:
1) Fiscally sponsoring (grant model) a crowdfunding campaign that Daniel
launched on October 7th to …
[View More]raise funds for a school in Guatemala that was
devastated by a tropical storm:
https://www.youcaring.com/escuelaoficialbarriochajsaquil-974517
** Deadline to attach a bank account is October 22nd, but we may be able to
retroactively reroute funds sent to a personal bank account.*
2) Fiscally sponsoring (project model, possible application for Omni
membership) The Village, which has successfully pressured the City of
Oakland to declare a Shelter Crisis Ordinance and agree to hand over some
city-owned land parcels for them to build viable villages for the homeless
and provide wraparound support services.
** Deadline to provide proof of fiscal sponsorship and associated General
Liability insurance is October 24th.*
There are of course more detailed aspects to each of these proposals, but
they remain pending for the time being - our shared deadline is tomorrow
before the Delegate's Meeting. In terms of expediting these important
projects, we could figure out a way to do this fairly that might include 1)
provisional fiscal sponsorship (eg, 1-3 months), 2) abstentions from
collectives that have consensus processes but would likely not object, and
3) utilizing old-omni's 501c3 to sponsor The Village, which has the same
board as omni but no assets that could be put into jeopardy.
I will post each proposal as a separate post to this list (I've cc'd sudo
and all are encouraged to forward to their collectives) sometime over the
next 24 hours.
<3
