The Leader of People's Programs believes that Ukraine is a fascist country and Russia can liberate them

by Lu Mar

Should People's Programs take over Omni Commons ? Abbas Muntaqim, as the Leader of People's Programs, is working very hard to support the Russian dictatorship and the Iranian dictatorship. By positioning Ukraine as the fascist country (not Russia), theoretically any means are necessary to support Russia/Putin in their murderous assault on people in Ukraine. Omni Commons should not be siding with the Russian dictator Putin. https://medium.com/@PeoplesPrograms/down-with-u-s-imperialism-down-with-nat… Abbas Muntaqim states: "Ukraine is the same region in which adolph hitler launched the invasion of the Soviet Union..and it is now in the hands of Ukranian neo-nazis. Russia, as any nation defending itself would do, is stopping history from repeating itself." Such a position gives allowance for Russia to do whatever it needs to "liberate" Ukraine from its fascist leaders (Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish and according to Abbas Muntaqim & People's Programs, he is the real fascist. Is it because he opposes Vladmir Putin, who People's Programs is indirectly supporting ?) Abbas Muntaqim, leader of People's Programs, states: "*It is safe to say that Russia is defending itself not only from a neo-nazi regime in Ukraine, but also from western imperialism through the us and nato.*" The people being attacked in Ukraine are the real Nazis, not Putinist Russia, according to Muntaqim ! How will this propaganda have an effect on Omni Commons ? This needs to be discussed. Lu Mar

ISPs blocking millions in state money to boost Oakland’s high-speed internet

by Peter Mui

“...The $14 million initially set aside for Oakland — a large chunk of the $24.5 million slated for Alameda County at large — is intended to build out the “last mile” of broadband connectivity, or tether parts of the city to the larger internet backbone built along major interstate highways. “...The issue hits close to home for high-school students in East Oakland, who said in interviews that everything from their post-pandemic education to FaceTimes calls with relatives to simple entertainment options were a nightmare of frozen screens, lagging videos and endless troubleshooting…” Article in the Mercury News about broadband deployment in East Oakland: https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/12/24/why-are-comcast-and-att-trying-to-bl… Do any suders / sudomeshers know Patrick Messac and/or the digital-equity advocacy group #OaklandUndivided? Seasons Greetings, -Peter

Addressing concerns

by Toan Nguyen

Hi all, I'm reaching out to share and clarify two concerns that was brought up from some Sudo Room members that occured during SR meeting on Wednesday Dec. 20. FNB discussion - (1) Josh attended as "Benny" since it was already on the device he was using and not intended to fake his identity. (2) Josh made an error when he said "FNB wants to approve PP proposal". FNB had a meeting right before SR and it wasn't clear to Josh that we were to stand aside the following day. An FNB member changed their mind at the last minute, that also resulted in a member opposing a decision to favor the proposal so hence the stand aside. There were also concerns that Josh misrepresented EBFNB and more of his personal views during Omni delegates meetings. I feel it can be difficult to balance since we don't want to misrepresent our collective at the same time voice how we feel as an individual towards an agenda. I've spoken with Josh, we had a great conversation and from that got an understanding where he's coming from, and where I'm coming from. We as part of collectives in this space we all share with one another, it'll be better when we all share with one another. Given the reminder of misrepresent concerns from our own collective, and to help avoid the friction between volunteers from SR and EBFNB that may escalate, I asked Josh to step down as a delegate for East Bay Food Not Bombs. Thanks, Toan

CLP logged into the Omni twitter on October 3rd

by Jake

just to inform sudoroom people of something mentioned on our slack: CLP (the authoritarian group we had to kick out in September) logged into the Omni twitter account on October 3rd and sent their boycott campaign to a bunch of our followers. I know Sudoroom people would mostly rather not have to think about this stuff, but if we want to remain at the Omni (which was mostly founded by sudoroom and CCL) we need to understand the magnitude of the struggle we're in and why it happened, especially so we can respond appropriately to the coming challenges. -jake

need help completing a $4000 grant invoice by Dec. 27th

by Jake

Peter has helped us apply for a $4000 grant for Sudoroom, but we have to complete the invoice and send it in in the next few days! It needs some text filled in describing our activities in sudoroom - it's pretty self-explanatory but I can't do it right now. Can someone familiar with Tuesday night events send me their gmail address so that I can share the google doc with you to advance it toward being ready to send? thank you! -jake

emergency sudoroom meeting tonight! 8PM

by Jake

In case people haven't heard yet, Omni Commons is facing foreclosure starting on January 1st since our present loan is expiring and we have not found a new one. We as Sudoroom need to meet and discuss the situation, spread awareness and give our delegate instructions on how to represent us when they go to the Omni Delegate's Meeting tomorrow night (thursday). We will be meeting in-person at sudoroom AND have a portal open to the internet through Jitsi, at this URL: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles We will try to convey things through the telepresence portal but it will certainly be easier to follow and participate in the meeting if you are in-person, so please consider that. We will open an on-line notepad and share in the process of taking notes, and that URL will be shared at the beginning of the meeting. Please consider showing up just to help take notes if you're a fast typer! -jake

Omni Commons Winter Campaign : Give Butter!

by Z Silver Zahn

Hello All, While we face multiple hurdles as a collective we ask for any support to keep us going to face these difficult conversations and transformations. Please spread and share our givebutter. $1, $5, whatever amounts will help us keep operations going! https://givebutter.com/gHpD3e [image: Solidarity for Palestinian Liberation (5).png] Omni Commons <https://omnicommons.org/>is one of the largest collectively owned and operated community buildings in the East Bay, housing many organizations doing crucial grassroots organizing and mutual aid efforts essential to the future of a healthy and thriving community. With a looming foreclosure, we are asking for your support to keep our doors open. You can make a one-time donation here or - even better - support us with a monthly financial donation through our Patreon Campaign. <https://www.patreon.com/omnicommons> With community spaces are becoming more and more rare as rents rise and developers sell these spaces for condos, Omni Commons makes full use of our 12,000 space by serving crucial roles for the community: - We are housing 8 different collectives to support some of the East Bay’s most vulnerable and underserved communities. Their inspiring work includes surplus food distribution to thousands of individuals, AA meetings, generic insulin research, and internet access for the unhoused. - As one of the few remaining affordable large event venues in the area, we are hosting numerous events at an affordable rate for emerging artists and nonprofits, from hip hop shows to dance performances and fashion shows. - We coordinate mutual aid efforts, both in emergency situations and day-to-day, when we open our free store three times a week and give away clothing. * In January, during one of the most severe atmospheric rivers of the season, intrepid Omni volunteers came together to open the doors to the unhoused populations, who were getting drenched and needing shelter. More than 50 individuals came through the doors, with donations pouring in from around the region. It was a testament to the power and potential of OMNI Commons. * We are proud of our work, but are a turning point in our history and are asking for your support again.
