Sudo Room <https://sudoroom.org/>
*Creative community and hackerspace*
*Help Keep Sudo Room Alive*
Sudo Room is continuously short on rent, so any contributions will really
help! As a member, we suggest a monthly due of $60, and accept non-monetary
contributions such as delicious snacks brought to our Wednesday night
meetings.
We are on the collaborative hacker honor system. If you are doing well
monetarily, feel free to pitch in a bit more than $60 so that someone else
can pay less and still enjoy the hack. If you have any problems making a
recurring donation, please let substack or juul know in IRC (#sudoroom on
freenode) for a quick fix.
Sudo Room is very close to becoming an official non-profit. We're excited
to become a non-profit because it will mean that all donations to Sudo Room
will be retroactively tax-deductible with the IRS. However, we need to
raise $400 filing fee for our IRS 501(c)3 application. If you want to help
with this process in any way, please contact info(a)sudoroom.org.
DONATE NOW <https://sudoroom.org/donate/>
You can also help keep Sudo Room alive by reaching out to your workplace,
other organizations, philanthropists, and grant funders. These folks can
help bring in one-time donations or matching donations that really help!
Applying to grants is easier than you'd think, and anyone who would like to
will be supported in their efforts.
*Short on cash? Help with Stuff!*
Sudo room is seeking a boat-load of organizing tools--like clear bins,
shelving, label-makers, and other materials. If you have any of these
things, drop a note to info(a)sudoroom.org or sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org!
AND if you can donate $$$ to help purchase and pick up these supplies, it
would be a high return on your investment!
Thank you for everything.

I am (was) a member of Sudo Room but I have specifically stayed away
because when I tried to come forward and talk about a harassment issue I
had, I was called names and basically told that my experience with
harassment ultimately didn't matter by one of your founders.
I have heard that my harasser has not been coming to Sudo Room, but the
disrespect I was treated to was enough to keep me away probably forever.
Because of this mishap, I never actually came back to Sudo Room after the
day I became a member to get a key and start paying monthly dues (I am also
homeless and have C-PTSD after years of sexual abuse violence, even
currently dealing with sexual assault in a situation I am unfortunately
in).
I'm just saying, if you guys want more people to contribute and donate,
perhaps have a much more compassionate an humanitarian approach to people
when they come forward about important matters despite being terrified to
do so. I would have happily given any money I had PLUS time to help, clean
and sort, etc. But I was pushed away and insulted instead.
For the last couple of months I have debated whether or not I wanted to
cancel my membership to Sudo Room. I don't feel right giving money and time
to a place and a community that I was pretty much laughed out of because no
one believed I was being harassed and stalked.
If you want to cancel my membership on your end because of this email, go
ahead and do it. Like I said, I don't feel right giving what little hard
earned money I have to a place that not only feel disrespected, but
purposely put me in harm's way and in front of my harasser and stalker.
I'm sorry for putting this out there on the mailling list, but I have held
this in for months and I feel I need to let people know.
Do whatever you want, ban me, cancel my membership, call me "hateful" for
being afraid of my harasser.
I don't care, anymore.

I suspect you are being less than truthful here.
You email-harassed one of our members after they informed you that they did
not have the time and energy to deal with this issue. Even then they took
the time to inform you about our conflict resolution processes, all the
ways you could address this issue and multiple different people to to
contact about it. You decided not to do so. Our unpaid volunteers have
limited time to deal with conflicts. The two of you took an issue that
started at noisebridge and brought it to sudo room for other people to deal
with. In fact, you showed up at sudo room with this conflict from day one.
We try our best to make a safe space and to resolve conflicts between
members, but you walked in the door trailing a conflict that failed to be
resolved at another hackerspace and then blamed our community for not
dedicating enough of our very limited resources to the conflict.
Further emails from you to this list will be moderated.

Hi.
Please cancel my Sudo Room membership. I don't have the time or energy
to waste on this performance piece anymore.

I want to mention that in addition to the conflict resolution process,
we also have a safer space policy where a person can be immediately
banned for safe space reasons. I take this very seriously, and I want
to say to anyone who has ever experienced abuse or harassment from
somebody at Sudoroom, I WILL DO MY VERY BEST to listen, act, and solve
the problem. I care about the safety of people in my community, and
even if my time is limited, I will never regret spending time on this
issue.
If others reading this are also willing to spend their time supporting
abuse survivors and fighting violence in our community, and be a
contact person for people who need to come forward, I encourage you to
speak up and make it known.
