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 that the dominant cultures are producing/enabling/reproducing.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._______________________________________________On Thu, Aug 8, 2024 at 8:09 PM Dane via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss@sudoroom.org> wrote: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 that the dominant cultures are producing/enabling/reproducing.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:Dane_______________________________________________On Mon, Aug 5, 2024 at 4:27 PM Jenny Ryan via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss@sudoroom.org> wrote:_______________________________________________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' 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 approved ?
