* peter: absent any other information i want to express to the mulberry trust an emotional appeal that there are people at Sudoroom if not other groups, to talk about the good work at this building that they're not otherwise aware is going on, Sudoroom mondays and tuesdays, reiterate the FNB work that's happened, the storm shelter last year in the ballroom, basically say that there's a whole group here that hasn't been at the delegates' meetings, basically to beg. I just learned that there might be somebody who knows them.. I'm happy to do a letter in parallel with Paige's letter, about what we're doing here. Look they invested $2M in us and if we fail they'll have to admit that they failed. If they're smart, even if Jake can put together an LLC, it will be at a higher interest rate than we're doing now. To me it's an emotional appeal not a clinical appeal. | * peter: absent any other information i want to express to the mulberry trust an emotional appeal that there are people at Sudoroom if not other groups, to talk about the good work at this building that they're not otherwise aware is going on, Sudoroom mondays and tuesdays, reiterate the FNB work that's happened, the storm shelter last year in the ballroom, basically say that there's a whole group here that hasn't been at the delegates' meetings, basically to beg.

* jake - maybe if we offered a higher interest rate they would consider, but also cant afford that right now, but to do that we would need more volunteers to step into events booking and renting rooms out. not specficially responding to clp blocking tanc and print collective preventing renting, but separately from that a lot of rooms are unrented. | * jake - maybe if we offered a higher interest rate they would consider, but also cant afford that right now, but to do that we would need more volunteers to step into events booking and renting rooms out. not specficially responding to clp blocking tanc and print collective preventing renting, but separately from that a lot of rooms are unrented. | ||

* paige - with the pp options from the boycott I think we need to think about a different way to have a conversation about and their boycott. PP says they've seen racism here and we need to have that conversation, and that's something that sudoroom can do. we're also in unity with them in a lot of work, and we can't just reject their offer. What are some next steps that we can do to work alongside them. none of the collectives here are working on booking events, and we've talked in the past of giving over control of the ballroom, and that's something we could offer as a counter. | * paige - with the pp options from the boycott I think we need to think about a different way to have a conversation about and their boycott.
