New page

==OMNI “collective dominant cultures” ==

Jordan, Margit, Sarah, Kazoo, Danny, Noemi

===next meetings:===

May 14, 5pm at 2141 Broadway

May 19th, 6:30–8pm Monday May 19th location TBD

first week of June

===1 thing each of us is hoping for with the Omni:===
* hoping to have movement performances
* hoping it will become open and interesting and desirable for groups outside of our immediate group
* hoping a move to Temescal doesn’t disrupt the Sudo community
* hoping it will be a catalyst for social action/social change, getting what we need to fight capitalism
* hoping for direct communication amongst us as a bigger group, and a sense of pace that feels grounded at the center of all tentacles
* hoping for care to preserve values of transparency and non hierarchy

===items to discuss:===
* reaching out to Omni neighbors
* creating safe space within the Omni and a conflict resolution policy/procedure including alternatives to police intervention
* materials and website to be multilingual
* making invitations to diverse stakeholders
* ways we might document what’s going on

===discussion:===
* reaching out to Omni neighbors
** we ought to wait until the lease is signed
** and then?
** door-to-door, in groups of 2 or 3
** come with intent and allow side-track conversations to build relationships and build community
** per-person outreach capacity? perhaps 2 or 3 houses
** and in materials, proving a tangible way to get involved – e.g., an info-session and potluck in the ballroom, experience the space

* outreach
** what about inviting people to consider space?
** there are options, multiple points of entry:
** some groups may be open to sharing their space
** there are rooms you can reserve
** there is common space open to all
* community events
** August may be too late
** what if individual groups want to do their own outreach?
** and neighbors might get confused if they get spoken to twice
** door-knocking coordination seems necessary
** holding the Thursday meeting as only discussing lease and logistics
** maybe our first goal as “challenging dominant culture” and radicalizing the Thursday meeting
** and, putting pressure on the “logistics” team to catalogue issues and concerns
** and note that there is a release valve on the nightly check-in call, which may also relax the Thursday meeting

* making invitations
** many groups doing transformational work in Oakland ought to come to a meeting … or something … but how to set expectations?
** the Thursday meeting is not welcoming
** so, back to the meeting culture!
* inreach
** meeting culture needs challenging!
** hierarchical, not fun, sorta kinda effed up, reverted into following and leading
** we’re in a state of emergency until the lease gets signed
** nothing happened at 6:30pm except for Danny holding space
** there is no facilitator chosen after the last meeting
** the meetings are welcome at fiiiirst, but then the positive intention clashes with the anxiety around the work
** WE NEED TO THROW A PARTY
** people need to BOTH enjoy AND celebrate
** the culture needs to be fun
** next CDC meeting held at 5pm, and WE will be the welcoming committee

* reporting back
** what might we say?
*** we’re intent on improving the language we use as being accessible
*** we’re concerned about the meeting culture being fun and inviting
*** we’re also concerned about tech issues and related work, like getting added to the list or wiki or whatever
*** we’re interested in going door-to-door

ideas:
* have 1 meeting a month as an open meeting for anyone interested in the Omni? restart the announcement list?
* propose something farther ahead? maybe all of the Omni folks just spending half a day together

action items:
* party!
* kazoo sends an email
* kazoo will make a cake
* propose plan and dates in late May/ early June for visiting neighbors – via omniogistics list with contact
* translate 1-sheet into plain, accessible language – building on from communications group
* Danny collects language from communications group and sends to Kazoo
* Margit talks with communications group regarding materials in other languages
* Jordan raises conversation about coordinating door-knocking and outreach between Omni and Sudo
