Uhm. This seems like a brilliant idea whether or not EBPREC decides to
help with the foreclosure. Can you think of any reason why this kind of
declaration would prevent EBPREC from getting involved in the future?

Another option is to record a cultural easement (or conservation easement)
at any time before the foreclosure sale, while title of the property is
still in the name of Omni Commons. I recorded a modified copy of the
following easement (see link below) on a property owned by my non-profit
along with a separate "Notice of Conservation Easement." Once recorded, it
is difficult for the dominant authoritarian capitalist species to remove
this easement and likewise demolish the building. However, it wouldn't make
the Mulberry Trust very happy if they have issues selling the property to
developers who are seeking to demolish the building.

I have shared some of the financial info &
questions around leases to the
person from EBPREC.
Sarah from Safer DIY Spaces and Jenny Sudo have been very helpful in
getting this information and trying to understand it all !
I am hoping folks will check out EBPREC (East Bay Permanent Real Estate
Cooperative),
which has a direct relationship with Sogorea Te' Land Trust (Indigenous
Community Land Trust) and is structured as a cooperative organization
itself.

In my opinion, EBPREC could help to prevent 4799 Shattuck Ave. from being
turned into the usual boring capitalist/colonizer/authoritarian project
space or being demolished for a boring Omni Condos / Omni Shopping Center
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omni_International_Mall> that the

If EBPREC works out, Sudo Room could be part of a shared ownership model
of 4799 Shattuck Ave (and potentially preventing Sudo Room from needing to
find a new space and having to rent from some random corporation/entity)
and be part of a web of cooperative community projects that EBPREC is
organizing:

Hey Dane!
Sudo Room is a fiscally sponsored project of Omni. It's a long story,
but we actually sacrificed our 501c3 entity to Omni so as to purchase the
building back in 2016, so could readily reapply using our previous
application materials.
Both leases and fiscal sponsorship agreements can be found in the Omni >
Legal folder on the GDrive. Attaching Sudo's here. AFAIK, FS agreements do
not need to be resigned annually, unless there are changes such as amount
of contribution to Omni.
We currently pay (and have most all of our months at Omni) $2K/month
Super stoked to hear you're talking with Sogorea Te'!

Hey Sudo Room,
I want to check if there is an official lease that Sudo Room has with
Omni Commons in terms of leasing the specific space that Sudo Room does at
this time ?
or even an unofficial lease
Is Sudo Room considered a "fiscally sponsored project" of Omni Commons
in terms of 501c3 relations ?
Without Omni Commons, does Sudo Room exist as a legal entity ? (501c3
stuff)
I am checking in with a community organization that is oriented towards
community land trusts about finding a partner organization to join Omni
Commons in potentially paying off the mortgage in exchange for equity, etc.
The organization is non-profit 501c3 that is oriented towards preventing
the usual capitalist development of land (preventing Omni Commons from
being turned into "Omni Condos" or "Omni Shopping Mall", etc.)
and they work with Sogorea Te' <https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/> Indigenous
Land Trust, among other groups.
*Can I find a Sudo Room lease or other formal/informal document that
explains how much Sudo Room contributes/pays each month and for how much
usage of Omni Commons ? *
I think we (Sudo Room) contribute *$ 2000* each month to Omni Commons ?
If I can show a formal or informal lease to this group, they can utilize
it to see how the space is structured with the current groups/entities.
Dane
P.S.- I want to check on how I can get my Sudo Room wiki account
<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Welcome> approved ?
