Delegates,

My apologies for not bringing this to a delegates meeting or by email
sooner.

*Please respond by December 1 if at all possible. *

I asked the finance working group if the Omni could formally sponsor this
event as an organization, and while everyone in the group agreed that we
could and should, they requested that I make a formal request to the
delegates since it would entail donating funds to an external group.

Last year, I contributed $200 on behalf of the Omni and shared a handful of
tickets for Omni folks to attend the Annual Critical Resistance program.
This year, the event is even bigger and it features a conversation
moderated by Angela Davis celebrating 20 years of prison industrial complex
abolition.

This year, Laura has agreed to cover half the amount for the minimum
organizational contribution of $500, so I am requesting *for the Omni to
contribute $250. *

Thank you all so much for your consideration in supporting the ongoing work
of this highly respected Oakland-based organization aligned with the values
and mission of the Omni Commons.

If this is approved, l please contact me privately if you are interested in
attending the program on behalf of the Omni on December 9.

Julio

*OUR HISTORY + OUR IMPACT*
Through advancing a critical understanding of prison industrial complex and
abolition, CR has consistently inspired individuals, organizations and
communities to take creative and practical steps to build a liberated
future. Alongside other abolitionists, we have achieved many victories --
from successfully stopping the construction of new jails in New York to Los
Angeles, to ending the use of racist gang injunctions in Oakland and
stopping California's 20-year prison building boom. Our campaigns, vision
and strategies have been shared and used as blue-prints across the US and
internationally.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the gains we have made together,
feeding our minds and our spirits, and preparing for the pitched battle of
the next 20 years. Every donation, ticket or sponsorship will amplify the
vision of liberated communities and the fierce, joyful will of our people
to fight to win.
