If we do decide to invite him, we should prep the audience to grill him on prison pipelines, inherent racism in prisons and enforcement, police brutality, surveillance, police state, and why in the hell he thinks it's a better idea to throw more money at a police state instead of spending that on education and investment programs in our people!!!

Involving sudoroom in politics sounds annoying, unless we decide to run mchawking for mayor.

Following the Sudo Room norms of transparency - a value I hold in high regard and try to practice to the best of my ability - I am forwarding the invitation I received below from the Bryan Parker 2014 Oakland mayoral race campaign.

I have spoken with the campaign previously about the importance of tech policy to the future of economic development in downtown oakland. i have not contributed financially to the campaign - but feel comfortable sharing at this point that I am seriously considering supporting his candidacy. the fact that Bryan Parker made history by being the first candidate to crowdsource his initial fundraising seems like a significant acknowledgement and suggests to me an awareness of the power of peer production. 

they are interested in holding a roundtable discussion sometime within the next couple months on the subject of innovation and technology.

i mentioned sudo room as a potential venue for this event and was planning on trying to move this discussion forward at the event tonight.

it is my intention to make the case that oakland's edge could and should be openness and co-operation in the further development. 

i believe that there is a role municipal government can play in making this happen, in terms of both strategic investments and administrative regulations.
