So sad to hear about this :( Thanks for this compassionate note, Daniel. I was contacted by a comrade last night about hosting the wake at the Omni and just followed up to say we could certainly host this for free and that she's welcome to list me as her point person. I'll post the GoFundMe link to Omni's social media accounts as well. <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
