Fiscal Sponsorship agreement going into effect

by Paige P

Hi everyone, I am a Sudo Room member who has been volunteering a lot in admin work for the last year, and am at least the sudo room president in name. But also I'm on the board for Omni Commons. Omni Commons is still fiscally sponsoring Sudo Room, since Sudo Room isn't yet ready to act as a nonprofit. The planned update to the fiscal sponsorship agreement between Omni Commons and Sudo Room (and the other groups sponsored by Omni) has been decided to go into effect starting June 1st. - The … [View More]

Proposal: SUDO room joins the Apartheid Free Communities Campaign

by Laura Wesely

Dear Sudoroom members and leaders, For the past 2.5 years I’ve been a Sudoroom “member” (I say this in quotations because I’ve been paying dues and attending but have never been endorsed as a full fledged member), but I’d like to make a proposal that Sudoroom become an Apartheid Free Community! I am writing as a member of SURJ Bay Area’s Palestine Solidarity Campaign. As a racial justice organization, SURJ believes it is our moral obligation to demand an end to Israel’s system of apartheid, … [View More]its genocide in Gaza, and its increasing violent seizure of land in the West Bank. All this is paid for by our tax dollars, with the U.S. directly funding the Israeli government to the tune of $35 billion a year. We invite Sudoroom to join us to support the Palestinian people’s human rights, lives, and lands by taking the pledge to become an Apartheid-Free Community. Apartheid is a crime against humanity. As defined by the United Nations <https://legal.un.org/avl/ha/cspca/cspca.html>, apartheid includes: • Acts such as murder, torture, inhuman treatment, and arbitrary arrest of members of a racial group • Deliberate imposition upon the subjugated racial group of living conditions calculated to cause its physical destruction • Legislative measures that discriminate in the political, social, economic, and cultural fields We could fill pages with examples of how Israel’s treatment of Palestinians meets this criteria—from arrests and imprisonment without charges to the destruction of Gaza by bombing homes, hospitals, and schools and cutting off food, water, electricity and medical supplies. Palestinians are subjected to entirely different laws and judicial systems, without freedom of movement and economic opportunities. Inspired by the anti-apartheid movement that helped topple the white supremacist regime in South Africa, the Apartheid-Free Communities Campaign is bringing communities together to end apartheid in Israel/Palestine. We encourage Sudoroom to join the over 500 organizations across the globe, including cities, schools, faith-based communities, labor unions, businesses, and organizations, in taking the pledge to become an Apartheid-Free Community. Signing the Pledge makes a difference! It reflects public support to our elected officials when we press them to divest from Israeli violence. It reduces harm to Palestinian and Arab members of our community. It challenges the official narratives and expands the public consciousness around Palestine. We ask that you sign this pledge, and take actions, in whatever way makes sense to Sudoroom, to be part of this effort. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and how I can support your Sudoroom in signing the Pledge and joining this campaign. In Solidarity, Lo P.S. We have materials including buttons, posters, and pamphlets you can use to increase awareness and build support. Plus the Apartheid-Free Communities website <https://apartheid-free.org/about/> is full of great resources and educational materials. -- *Lo * *(Laura Wesely)* *Pronouns: She/They <https://www.mypronouns.org/>* *There is no neutral body from which our bodies deviate. Society has written deep into each strand of tissue of every living person on earth. What it writes into the heart muscles of five star generals is distinct from what it writes in the pancreatic tissue and intestinal tracts of Black single mothers in Detroit, of Mexicana migrants in Fresno, but no body stands outside the consequences of injustice and inequality* *― *Aurora Levins Morales [View Less]

OCLP

by Patrick Clawson

This message is for Peter Mui, apologies for spamming the group with a message for a specific person, but I don't have their contact details yet. Hi Peter, This is Patrick Clawson, we met at last week's Tuesday night meeting and you gave me the minimac to get up and running with OCLP. I was reading up on it and one of the draw backs to OCLP is that future upgrades might break the install, requiring another run at it with the OCLP installer. I was reading that non-MacOS installs such as linux … [View More]
