A lot has happened between then and now, so it would be nice to catch up. We’re thinking of putting out the next newsletter by the end of March, so we want to invite Omni collectives and Omni folks to share updates, thoughts, art, feelings, ideas with us, so we can include them in the Omni Commoner. > > There is a lot to talk about. We are still in the grips of a deadly pandemic which has undeniably exacerbated the ills of capitalism and its deadly effects on our community. But Omni folks and Omni Collectives have organized and actively continued to support the community during this crisis. We are stewarding a town fridge, the North Oakland Mutual Aid Project is going strong, Acta Non Verba has adopted Phat Beets’ CSA, and the rest of Omni collectives continue to do empowering work out in the community. The working groups are meeting, some regularly and other sometime, the finance/fundraising working group though has been at the forefront doing the important work of keeping the Omni alive, critical work, which we are all grateful for! There is much more going on for sure, this is not even mentioning the different individual projects Omni folks are working on! > > It has been a rough year, but with the spirit of collectivity, the Omni continues to be a hub for community collective action during this pandemic.
