[sudo-discuss] Omni Newsletter - call for updates, thoughts, art, words

[Roberto Martinez]

Hello fellow omninoms, how is everyone doing? We hope all of you are well
and taking care of yourselves and your community during this covid-19
pandemic.


What an intense couple of weeks we have lived, right? Full of
uncertainties, but also full of hope. A lot has happened in the past
several weeks, it feels like we are the center of a fast moving current,
acting and reacting to the rapidly evolving threat we and our communities
face. After all, covid-19 has done an excellent job at amplifying the ills
of the capitalist system making its deadly presence ever more cruel within
our most vulnerable communities. But at the Omni, we are lucky to be part
of a community of caring, committed and skillful folks who are doing the
groundwork to support and build efforts to aid those in need. There is a
lot that has happened, direct actions, mutual aid efforts, mask making,
food distribution, and more!


 In the spirit of community building and mutual-care, the communications
working group is dusting off the printing press and bringing back Omni’s
newsletter to share with each other all of the work we are doing, the
feelings we are feeling, and maybe a collective vision for a better future.
We are hoping to have the newsletter out by the end of the month, which is
in about two weeks. Like newsletters of the past we want to feature the
work of each collective. So we are asking each collective to submit 1-4
paragraphs providing an update of the work ya’ll are doing collectively or
maybe feature the work of an individual member. Below are some suggestions
of questions or topics you can touch on:

   -

   Updates from your collective
   -

   How is your collective responding to the covid-19 pandemic.
   -

   Reflections about the covid-19 pandemic.
   -

   What kind of world do yall imagine post covid-19?
   -

   Share anything that your collective needs help with, or needs.
   -

   Anything you want to share….poetry, paintings, photographs, recipes,
   anything.

Additionally, we will be featuring upcoming events, meetings, or ongoing
efforts from collectives, so please send those our way as well.

*Please send your content to the communications working group email at
comms at lists.omnicommons.org <comms at lists.omnicommons.org>, by Tuesday April
28th.  *

Like all the other working groups at the Omni, the communications working
group needs more participation. If you are interested in joining please
sign up to the communication working group email list at

Thank you.

With love and solidarity,

The Communications Working Group
