Currently- and Formerly-Incarcerated Persons and Family Support non-profit event

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Wanted to send a reminder to mark your calendars to join Yusef (Andre) Wiley and the Timelist Group on: Sun, Feb 23 at 2:30pm - 5:00pm There are a lot of opportunities to work with this group to connect to at-risk youth through tutoring and skill sharing, working directly to support incarcerated persons, and also to help break the cycle of recidivism for the formerly incarcerated, especially with job training and computer skill development. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't come yet to please come on the 23rd. Additionally, Timelist Group is developing their non-profit structure and income, which can also use support. They have some grant opportunities, so being in contact now can go a long way to help them grow. Finally, the workshop will be oriented around how to become a facilitator for Timelist Group workshop curriculum. How to become Prison Outreach workers and community workers for youth and other individuals at risk. This should be informational for all interested folks. // Matt

Pi day donation

by "Løng$hanks"

Good morning, I don't know a lot of the people on these lists since I'm intensely antisocial & rarely attend parties, *but* I do volunteer regularly for Volx Kuche---San Francisco's premier free dinner club + punk cabaret; see www.vokusf.org for location & times. The first VK of next month falls on Friday, March 14th, aka Pi Day. I have been enlisted to design a pi zine for the occasion, which I am happy to do; in addition, I thought we might serve pie for the event. What this idea lacks in originality, it will surely make up for in delicious-ness. Stan-Oz suggested approaching bakeries in the area for donations. I am willing to visit places in person & request donations, give background on the event, etc., but in the interest of saving time & effort, it makes sense to tap the community info bank for suggestions beforehand. So, if you can suggest a bakery or other local biz that may be amenable to donating pi---say, enough to serve 50 to 100 people---to a free, all-volunteer event such as "the People's Kitchen," do please come at me w/ it. Ideally in San Francisco, as my visits to the East Bay are infrequently made & frequently ridiculous. Of course, we welcome the possibility of anyone else situated in Oakland or elsewhere in the B.A. willing & able to drum up donations, as well. Also, I would like to install a layout program such as InDesign or Scribus on my laptop, & am rather lacking in funds. If you can read between these lines & have help to offer, it will greatly facilitate our production of the pi zinelet. Although it is entirely possible, & may in fact be fun, to resort to the ancient cut-&-paste-by-hand method for the zine as well. Thanks & have a flaky, golden, fruit-filled day. +11+ http://blog.carneysandoe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/pi-day-exploratoriu… -- Løng$h@nk$ Not all who wander are lost.

MacArthur Transit Village - OaklandWiki

by Romy Ilano

Wow I don't recognize MacArthur Bart anymore .. That whole mono neighborhood is changing! http://oaklandwiki.org/MacArthur_Transit_Village MacArthur Transit Village MacArthur Transit Village 2 MacArthur Transit Village (MTV) is a mixed-use Transit-Oriented Development now under construction adjacent to, and on top of, the former surface parking lot for the MacArthur BART Station in North Oakland. According to the official website, the project will "provide 624 new housing units on a 7.76 acre site, of which 516 units will be market rate and 108 units will be below market rate. The development includes construction of five buildings for high density, multifamily housing, with a new 478-space parking garage for BART patrons and guests. In addition, 42,500 square feet of local commercial and retail space will be constructed, along with 5,000 square feet of space for community use. Phase 1 of construction will commence in May 2011, which includes demolition of adjacent motel properties, along with construction of the BART parking garage and site infrastructure. Construction of affordable apartments will follow in 2012, along with development of the remaining parcels phased from 2014 through 2021." 1 UPDATE: On Thursday, September 19, 2013 construction begins on Phase 2 of the MacArthur Transit Village at the MacArthur BART Station. Phase 2 is a new 90-unit affordable housing community developed by BRIDGE Housing. The project is located in the southeastern section of the existing parking lot. Completion is planned for spring 2015. Construction of the new housing structure and new streets will close a large section of the existing parking lot. BART riders should use other means to reach the MacArthur BART Station rather than driving, such as free shuttles or AC Transit buses. A brochure with information on alternatives is available at the MacArthur BART Station or can be viewed or downloaded at http://macarthurstation.com. In late October, a portion of the BART Plaza will close for reconstruction. The reconstruction will include a new bike storage facility and additional security features. The closed area will not block access to or from the BART Station. For more information, please visit http://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2013/news20130911.aspx.

SUDOregistry?

by Troy Massey

I dont like regimentation probably more than the next person, however I see a need to be a bit more methodical in our organizing of activities so thst we can become more accountable to one another. I see this as helping to build bonds without stressing as a lot of the logistics work can be done if we follow this format: SUDO Registry Tue.2:28am Oct.8.2013 Wheres the sudo registry? name contact info : E.mail Phone ( for txting) Best times to contact members : "Anytime" is an unaccountable cop.out :( Interests Projects they are working on currently When those projects are sceduled for work on Resources available to help make the project successful Resources required to maje the project successful Transparency is one of our principles, so we should utilize it for its positive uses and become commited / accountable to one another as we work together and share space, time, and resources. I think this should go to the list in a truncated form asking people what they think of the idea. Yes I will work on making a wiki out of this,,, "You are the source of Freedom : the price of Freedom is awareness and action"

Music show 2/28

by Scott Olsen

I talked about this a bit at last week's meeting. I am putting together a music show featuring Sole, Pat the Bunny, 40 Thieves/Eddie Falcon, and The Last Barfighter. Sole and Pat are coming in for a couple days in Denver and they asked me to try to find a venue . They preferred not to have it at a traditional venue (bar), they want it to be all-ages, able to have at least 100 people. Elliot from the Hot Mess is working on this with me. We were going to have this at the RCA, but they are not trying to have any events there now. Elliot says he talked to somebody from Sudo, and now our priority is to be able to confirm a date. At the meeting, you told me to email your landlord. I can do this, but I feel like it might be better if it came from someone who has a relationship with the landlord. We can have a small crew available for ticketing, emcee, security (if needed), cleanup. Here is a summary of what is being planned for: Music show from 8pm to no later than midnight (likely 11pm) with four artists (two local). $5-10 tickets (no one turned away for lack of funds) All ages BYOB Expecting about 100 for audience. It would be great if someone could ask your landlord about this.. I can compose a letter or your can. Or if you think it would be OK, I can email a letter myself, but I would need the contact information. Thank you, I hope this works out. Please email me with any questions, comments, concerns. -- Scott Olsen Use PGP/GPG for communication security HOWTO: https://help.riseup.net/en/message-security My public key: https://scottolsen.org/scottolsen.pub

Domain Awareness Center (Today)

by dj8ow8s+2l0dk4＠guerrillamail.com

The city council is voting tomorrow on the Domain Awareness Center. There will be a protest at Oscar Grant Plaza at 6:30 pm. There are strong arguments to wear a mask: 1) A protest is intended to show support or opposition to an idea. It's not about the individual, just the message. 2) A mask may prevent you from getting fired from your job: http://pastebin.com/MMSaL5Pc 3) A mask may suggest to the city council that if they continue with this center that wearing a mask will become a style (in a similar manner as sunglasses) in Oakland and therefore only further complicate law enforcement. In other words......... I hope I don't see you there tomorrow. ---- Sent using GuerrillMail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com/abuse/?a=UlRwCkAESqcWnR2n0HIWYQDUA9mF1thCyKtP…
