Hi friends,

I was thinking of calling a meeting to optimistically discuss the future of the Sudo Room. 

For a while I have been discussing with friends how I feel sudo should launch and support initiatives which directly improve the material conditions of the people in the Oakland Community. And I think it should be done with a focus on inclusivity of Black and Brown folks.

I would be excited if we had initiatives like:

• An initiative to provide Direct support for local families and individuals
• An initiative to Support prison abolition efforts
  
• An initiative to oppose to war crimes in Gaza or assistance for recent undocumented immigrants

I have a lot of my own Ideas, but I am super interested in hearing everyone's Ideas about different services we can offer!

Secondly I think it is important we have an actual Mission Statement for who we are and what we want to accomplish. This will be great to provide clarity for what are needs are assuming everything goes well with CAST. This will allow us to plan for the growth and success of our projects and services in the future.

If we can have a meeting this Weds we could discuss these two Items, and maybe we could bring some food and make it a bit of a party.

Please reply with ideas if you like.

William
