[sudo-discuss] [omni-building] [omni-finance] [omni-booking] [omni-commons] [omni-discuss] [CCLmembers] [URGENT] Omni Commons Response to Current Climate (was re: "Omni as a distribution point")

Fri Mar 20 21:02:40 PDT 2020

Yes, of course!

I'm both a) continuing to work remotely fulltime while also onboarding the
rock the bike team to remote work, and b) connecting to/connecting existing
groups and collating all the local mutual aid resources being bandied
about, and am hoping to get them up at least on a wiki page pointed via
oaklandmutualaid.org - still conferring with bay area mutual aid response
teams and folks working on a replicable website template - ping me if you
want to get involved in any way!

I'm tracking all the small business grants/loans I come across for Rock The
Bike, and started collating resources for Omni - is there an existing doc
for all local nonprofits I could just add those lines to?
