I'd very much like to sign on.
I think the rules say that to take an action, someone just needs to propose
it at a meeting with 7 people, then give everyone who wasn't at the meeting
a week to register concerns. Although it's tricky because we rarely get 7
people at a meeting.
I'm just going to try as an experiment proposing this here and now, then
asking at the meeting (regardless of attendance) and see if someone
objects.
If no one objects and perhaps seven people are aware of the proposal, that
seems like it should satisfy the basic requirements.
*I propose we sign on to the above letter ! If you oppose this, LET IT BE
SO KNOWNNNNNNN!!!*
You're all witnesses now. Let's see what happens.

What sort of quorum would we need to sign it as
Sudoroom? Perhaps we can
bring this up at the August meeting this coming Wednesday?

Hey y'all,
I'm a member of Traffic Violence Rapid Response
<https://oakrapidresponse.org/> (a group that is taking action to reduce
traffic fatalities in Oakland), and I'm writing to see if Sudoroom is
interested in signing onto this letter
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/14fyNMzi8jUzvwxQqHBtO-NE4A7DBOb4NxtfJyNU4_Yc/edit>
to the city council to protect cyclists and pedestrians on Grand Ave! Let
me know if you'd be willing to sign and we can put the Sudoroom logo in the
signature.
Thanks,
Emma

Hey Sudoers,
I just learned that Oakland's city planners are being pressured by AC
Transit to curtail their bikable city plan on Grand Avenue! And there's a
public hearing meeting on *Tuesday, July 25 at 6:30 - 7:30* here:
https://meet.google.com/tzk-sbcu-uwk
You can read more details here (SF Streetsblog)
<https://sf.streetsblog.org/2023/07/18/oakdot-killing-grand-avenue-road-diet-at-ac-transits-request>,
but the short version is that the city said it wants to make Grand Avenue
look more like Telegraph, which I love, and instead the bus company is
like, "No, fuck that, add in another lane of high speed traffic through an
urban neighborhood. We might want it in the future. Fuck parks and
restaurants, we want concrete and steel suffocating the community.
If you've got a minute during Hardware Hacking Tuesday, drop in and be
heard. This is crazy, and I really hope we can speak loudly enough to keep
AC Transit from fucking up a good plan.
Lots of love,
*Andrew R Gross, (he/him)*
