I meant to add: we should use Eventbrite more often, methinks, for these free/by-donation events. Our current payout for this 2-hour training is $175, and another $30 promised at the door. I expect that number to double over this next week. Would love to see more folks join the informal 'organize' working group, which we popped up in the wake of the election and is also essentially the rebirth of the Communications WG. I'm currently talking with folks about a women's self-defense workshop, and we last week hosted a 100+ attendee full-day direct action training that covered basics of civil disobedience, legal/know your rights, first aid at protests, herbal aftercare, radical photojournalism, and digital security. Abe has begun turning the corner of the entrance hall into a space for folks to come make flyers and banners, an extension of the rad zine library in the middle of the room that he's also been curating. That space could use moar rad posters, tools and resources for organizers if you'd like to contribute. Tiny wishlist: get one of the Xerox copiers there working via an ethernet cable run; canvas / sheets / infinity paper and non-oil-based paints for indoor banner-making; bullhorns, generators, mobile sound system, camera drone, livestream backpack for locked storage... Wednesdays at 6:30pm in the Omni office (upstairs by the public terminals). Join us to help facilitate vital organizing meetings and activist trainings! - organize AT omnicommons DOT org // https://omnicommons.org/organize 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.
