it seems either way, I'd suggest to the group that
we start fundraising
toward the premise of the worst case scenario and hopefully come out with
extra time.
Bad news doesn't do well with people without the company of a solution or
a goal. So Rob or whoever else, could you help me understand this situation?
- Are there any calculations of how much money we would need to raise
in the following months? if so, what will be the monthly goals?
- Also, what are we currently raising per month?
- What is the shortfall?
- where is the money coming from?
- events?
- from collectives?
- that kickstarter?
- grants?
- Who do I ask, if no one responds to these inquiries?
If this information is not readily available, then we suffer from a lack
of transparency.If we expect to solve these problems with our collective
minds and labor, we need more information than a worst case scenario to
direct our energy. Every person here has a big network of folks that are
probably just as righteous and dedicated, We have the people power to deal
with these issues. We all just have to come together and know what exactly
we need to do.

clarification: i just spoke to laurel from
finance, again, & he informed
me the 2 month warning was a worst case scenario. the $20,000 we may have
(books are incomplete) will run out in 2-6 months depending on how things
pan out.

i attended the finance wg meeting tonight where i
learned that our 4
months in this building may be more like 2 months.
additionally, the finance wg apparently has huge holes in their records
& ask that the collectives give an accounting of any & all payments to the
omni over the past year.
it was also suggested that we start making plans to exit the building
around the new year as our $ will likely run out by then.
