Greetings! For discussion & possible consensus at the next Omni Delegates Meeting on March 1st: I'd like to propose that Omni pay for an exhibition table ($100) at the Allied Media Conference <https://www.alliedmedia.org/amc> this summer in Detroit. I will be attending, albeit also as a representative for Sudo Mesh. For those unfamiliar with the conference, it's one of the radder ones I've heard of over the past decade - but have never attended myself. The theme is essentially the intersection of social justice and media - what AMC describes as "media-based organizing <https://www.alliedmedia.org/media-based-organizing>," defined as "any collaborative process that uses media, art, or technology to address the roots of problems and advances holistic solutions towards a more just and creative world." This is the 20th annual conf, which is always located in *Detroit*, and takes place this summer from *June 14-17*. Are any other collective members also planning to attend? Would you be interested in sharing an Omni table to display info about your projects and/or helping to staff the table for some shifts throughout the duration of the conference? *Please forward this email along to your collectives so we can assess our capacity to participate!* If there aren't a few other Omni collective members able to come and help staff the table, perhaps Omni could share Sudo Mesh's table and collectives could provide me with some of your handouts / brochures / flyers / arts / etc for display Please send a reply to me or to discuss(a)omnicommons.org if you'd like to help with organizing around AMC! <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "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.
