Subject: [omni-commons] 'emergency' mtg tonite re: Omni & protests, 7pm entrance hall

hi all,

ok not really an 'emergency' unless you count the forthcoming four-year-long state of emergency we're entering into post-Trump -

I would like to get together with anyone who is feeling the rage and despair against the election outcome, to brainstorm how Omni can best provide shelter, workspace and solidarity to those presently engaged in the protests against the insanity of recent events which has ignited the bay area.

This might mean:

- Making a flyer encouraging activists to use omni for meetings, going to protests, and handing them out?

- Organizing banner-making sessions, weekly assemblies, etc?

- protest tactics, info sessions?

- generally getting the word out that omni can serve as a site of interconnection and possible collaboration for various groups of activists and activated friend groups, etc

- what can member groups supply the effort..? Ideas:

Sudo - (just riffing here):
-- disseminate peoplesopen.net<http://peoplesopen.net> to support protests?
Welcome to the People's Open Network<http://peoplesopen.net/>
peoplesopen.net
The People's Open Network is a community-owned and -operated wireless network in Oakland, California


-- fab some drones?

BAPS:
-- classes on community, solidarity, resistance, political philosophy meeting praxis

others: ?

I am aware of other calls to action and convergences elsewhere, but I figure we as the omni community at large should also figure out how we might best make available our resources to the mass effort.

Niki and I will be hosting, we will try to bring some yummy food -- and super late notice I realize but we figured hell, no time like the present

please come if you can :) and pass the word on -

love & solidarity
David
