Fwd: [omnilogistics] Fwd: [omnidelegates] Kazoo Introduction

by Matthew Senate

fwd'd ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, May 22, 2014 at 9:00 PM Subject: [omnilogistics] Fwd: [omnidelegates] Kazoo Introduction To: "omnilogistics(a)lists.riseup.net" <omnilogistics(a)lists.riseup.net> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Kazoo* <lovekazoo(a)gmail.com> Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 Subject: [omnidelegates] Kazoo Introduction To: omnidelegates(a)lists.riseup.net Hello Omni! I am happy to be involved in this project! The Thursday meetings are hard for me to make because I have an intern who comes to my SF studio and gives me free labor on Thursday evenings, but I will try to rearrange that with her starting next week. I have also been a little late to the game because I have two other large projects starting that I had planned way before I knew about the Omni- building a studio from the ground up in Oakland, and writing and recording an album of my own music. I have been planning this six-month period from now until September for full-time engagement in those two previous projects canceling my regular teaching schedule. Ideally I would love to stay involved in the planning process with the Omni through the fall, but not begin my specific project within the space until the November. I'm not sure how that feels to all involved. I welcome your feedback. Here is a quick synopsis of what I want to do with the Omni Project: Creative Empowerment Project CEP is a screen printing and collateral production studio that makes all manner of printed media: tshirts, posters, book jackets, perfect-bound books, business cards, CD and DVD packaging, and various graphic design. The space has several functions. There will be a cooperative screen printing space where coop members will pay a small monthly fee (maybe 50$) to have 24hour access to the community screen printing space. The screen printing space will be equipt with 8 printing stations so that many people may use it at the same time. I currently bottom-line a space like this in San Francisco where I have been screenprinting for the past three years. This will help cover our portion of the Omni rent. There will also be an Education/Vocation component to the space where people who are formerly incarcerated, targeted by racism, or otherwise challenged to survive within the oppressive economic/justice system can build capacity for self-employment and group empowerment. Participants in the E/V program will learn the skills of screenprinting, digital design, layout, cooperative business functions, and self-promotion through classes and practice. The E/V collective will take jobs in printing and production to support its portion of the rent as well as paying its participants for their labor. Eventually I would like the E/V project to expand to include people who are under 18, targeted by racism, and disengaged with the public school system. The E/V project will employ its own students, and hopefully be taken over by those who have successfully completed the program. As far as the space is concerned, I think this could happen anywhere in the building, if it happens in the basement we would require some windows and a separate entrance so the coop members could have 24hour access without necessarily accessing the rest of the Omni building. Looking forward, Kazoo * please vote for my design: * * http://www.independentmusicawards.com/imanominee/13th/Design <http://www.independentmusicawards.com/imanominee/13th/Design> * *and this is what i do:* *etsy.com/shop/kazoostudio* <http://etsy.com/shop/kazoostudio> *www.thepartystarterdotcom.com/readingrainbow.jpg <http://www.thepartystarterdotcom.com/readingrainbow.jpg> *

Problems with Johannes

by Marc Juul

Some of you may have noticed the blackboard message in the common room today. For those who haven't, it says: PLEASE MOVE. PLEASE TAKE YOUR ELITIST SELF-ABSORBED ASSES TO YOUR DREAMSPACE UPTOWN "OMNI" SPACE AND STOP PRETENDING TO REPRESENT "COMMUNITY" Last night at about 11:30 pm I was sitting in the common space, hacking away on my laptop, when Johannes (one of the tenants of the building) set up the projector and started watching a comedy tv show in the common room. It was just him near the projector and me and Anthony sitting in the couches near sudo room. Johannes went and turned off half the lights in the common room without communicating with us. I was bothered by this and went over and turned the lights back on. He then came over to me and angrily asked if I really _needed_ the lights on. I calmly responded "I prefer the lights on". He then got very upset and started ranting at nobody in particular (though of course in response to me) as he stomped around the room. I then said "It's polite to ask before changing the lighting in a room with other people". This is truly the extent of our interaction, and I communicated in a calm and neutral manner throughout. Johannes kept angrily ranting, then turned off the projector. He came back in and out of the room carrying a blackboard several times. It wasn't until I got up from the couch later that I saw the message he'd left. I realize this negative interaction could potentially have been prevented had I talked to Johannes first instead of just turning the light back on (though I have attempted this before when he's been disruptive in the common space, with limited success). The reason I bring this up on the list is that I am concerned by the disproportionate anger that this small incident triggered. I feel like it requires a serious lack of self-awareness / empathy to deal with the incident as Johannes did. I am documenting this in case this becomes a pattern of behavior that needs to be addressed in the future. -- marc/juul

Timon

by Matthew Senate

I have been afraid. I don't often feel fear, or let myself get carried by that fear, but in this circumstance it has taken over me periodically for months now. I was afraid of Timon. I was afraid of his physical and psychological intimidation. I have been targeted, among others, by him, and this has made sudo room an unsafe space whenever he is present. But I'm no longer afraid. I no longer will allow this abuse to continue. Timon *asked *that I send a written message, so I sent an email to him and our landlords that indeed, Timon has no right (legal or otherwise) to sudo room, the public school, or the common space of 2141 Broadway. This is unequivocally true. However, the more important matter is that I sent this message because I, among others, have been habitually harassed and targeted by Timon. This harassment ends now. We provide a space that is safe for everyone to be fully expressed, where safe space and mutual respect is prioritized far over ideology. There is no argument to be had; your fellow members are begging for help, to hold fast and expect the most minimal of standards for behavior for anyone who enters our space. Please help end this abuser's targeting of myself and other sudoers. I know I will be present on Wednesday in full confidence and unencumbered by my previous fear. I have overcome this fear through support of the friends and community that truly makes sudo room an amazing place. Please join me if you have shed this fear too. Together we will resist this and future patterns of abuse. // Matt

multiple car break-ins

by Marc Juul

A sudoers car was broken into tonight right in front of the sudo room entrance. It was unlocked and was empty so nothing was stolen or broken. The car owner caught them in the act and they fled. Later, another sudoer saw one guy breaking into another car on the street and then attempting to break into the same car from earlier (which was apparently now locked). The sudoer ran toward the culprit and the culprit fled on his bike. The people breaking in seemed two be two teenagers. Those who saw them estimate that they were about 17. -- marc/juul

Gentrification report proposes bold solutions to stop Displacement in Oakland

by Romy Ilano

This is interesting, and it made me a little less depressed. I'm pro development, building up, but the speed at which things are taking place in Oakland has me taken aback. here is an interesting article someone passed along to me... http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/04/gentrification-report-proposes-bold-solutio… Proposals to protect Oakland's historic residents from displacement. Photo by Laura McCamy ♦ Last week Causa Justa::Just Cause (CJJC <http://www.cjjc.org/>) released a report titled Development Without Displacement: Resisting Gentrification in the Bay Area. The 112-page document, prepared in collaboration with the Alameda County Public Health Department <http://www.acphd.org/>, goes beyond describing the public health implications<http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/04/study-finds-gentrification-in-oakland-hurts…> of gentrification to proposing steps that cities like Oakland can take to stop displacement of historic residents. Six key principles create a framework for the report’s policy recommendations: 1. Baseline protections for vulnerable residents 2. Production and preservation of affordable housing 3. Stabilization of existing communities 4. Non-market based approaches to housing and community development 5. Displacement prevention as a regional priority 6. Planning as a participatory process “Because gentrification is an issue that crosses various different kinds of aspects, you actually do need a variety of policy strategies,” said Maria Zamudio, San Francisco Housing Rights Organizer with CJJC. “There is no silver bullet to take on the housing crisis.” [image: Gentrification Map created by Alameda County Public Health Department]<http://static.oaklandlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Slide7.jpg> The report classifies neighborhoods by their place on a spectrum of gentrification. “Gentrification in different neighborhoods is in different stages, so the need for policy interventions is different,” she said. The report lays out proposed policies, including just cause eviction<http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/ceda/documents/policy/dowd008118.pdf> ordinances, proactive code enforcement to make sure current affordable housing stock is maintained, inclusive zoning that mandates affordable housing be part of development projects, and community trainings to encourage resident participation in planning processes. A proposed community health impact analysis of new projects would be designed to help cities like Oakland welcome much-needed development while mitigating displacement. [image: Protesting urban renewal in San Francisco's Fillmore District. Photo courtesy of Causa Justa]<http://static.oaklandlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/R3SD7k_HFUgLdfYBB…> Protesting urban renewal in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. Photo courtesy of Causa Justa “Right of first refusal” and “reparation and return” policies would allow residents displaced by habitability issues or urban renewal the opportunity to return to their former homes. A “No Net Loss<http://www.mapc.org/sites/default/files/One%20for%20One%20Affordable%20Hous…>” policy would “require all affordable units lost through renovation, conversion, or demolition be replaced within the same neighborhood if possible and within the same city at a minimum.” Public data on civic investment and demographic changes by neighborhood would highlight areas of neglect and displacement where resources are most needed. The report advocates against the market-driven planning process that is the norm in cities throughout the Bay Area. Instead, it suggests, cities should invest in affordable housing through Community Land Trusts<http://cltnetwork.org/> and Limited Equity Housing Co-Ops<http://www.policylink.org/site/c.lkIXLbMNJrE/b.5137049/k.A9DF/Limited_Equit…> and levy taxes aimed at making real estate speculation less attractive to investors. [image: zlqif57zdV_o-14iZUza4wMc081LuFM56QOlcrabHORjPhiTYlvBkAFZd3qd2pQb2w=s190]<http://static.oaklandlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/zlqif57zdV_o-14iZ…>“Policy fights need to be organizing opportunities,” said Zamudio, highlighting another recommendation: to bring affected communities into the process of preventing their own displacement. “Our policies are never going to be visionary enough to take on the problem,” she said, without input from “the most impacted residents of neighborhoods” experiencing gentrification. Some of the proposals in the report are already being implemented in other cities. San Francisco is listed as a model for a number of the proposals. Yet displacement is, if anything, a bigger problem in that city than in Oakland. “We’re seeing a compounding of impacts,” said Zamudio. “Planning by the city has been in line with changes that the speculative market wants.” She noted that demographic shifts, as working class residents are pushed out, compound the problem by raising the median income and, with it, the threshold for affordable housing. “The income of the city is unbalanced,” she said, which leads to increasing challenges in finding housing affordable to working class residents. [image: Public development expenditures in Oakland. Chart by Causa Justa]<http://static.oaklandlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/i-3rCsd5nF7YeGPLF…> Public development expenditures in Oakland. Chart by Causa Justa Robbie Clark, Regional Housing Rights Campaign Lead Organizer with CJJC, sums up the recommendations as “Community health upheld over profit.” “Money shouldn’t dictate how much power people have in land use developments,” Zamudio said, adding that community investment should also have value. Clark sees several opportunities to put these policy recommendations into practice in Oakland, starting with keeping the pressure on the city council to make sure the proposed rent control changes which strengthen tenant protections, is approved when it comes before the council on April 22 and May 6<https://oakland.legistar.com/MeetingDetail.aspx?ID=305862&GUID=D21765D0-49F…> . In May, CJJC will begin a campaign to put an ordinance on the November ballot that will go after some of the strategies landlords use to get around just cause eviction laws: allowing units to become uninhabitable and harassing tenants. “This is a problem that the city knows about,” Clark said, noting that landlords may threaten to call the police or ICE<http://www.ice.gov/> if tenants complain about unhealthy living conditions. “We believe some protections need to be put in place to punish landlords that do this.” The ballot measure would institute fines for failure to maintain habitable rental units and for threatening or harassing tenants. Pointing out that 90 percent of Oakland’s housing stock was built prior to 1978, Clark said the aim of the proposed law is “making sure that people can stay in the places where they live now.” [image: Art by Design Action Collective]<http://static.oaklandlocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/k-Tvc1dYsAa5yQwr-…> Art by Design Action Collective “There has been a significant shift in who owns properties, especially in heavily gentrified areas,” Clark noted. The rise in investor ownership of previously owner-occupied properties has lead to more rentals in Oakland that aren’t covered by the tenant protection laws. “This would be a significant piece of legislation to protect all tenants and not just tenants covered under the rent stabilization law,” he said. “As we legislate against a problem, we’re never going to legislate a complete solution,” Zamudio said. “Policy interventions will always have loopholes and the market with continue to shift to find ways to make a profit.” This is why, she added, organizing and strong community involvement are crucial.
