  • all decisions, including adding new members, default to consensus of existing members

  • people can vote without going to a meeting, but if they don't come and don't say anything, they abstain
Second times are evidence that entropy isn't existential always!

  • we value emotional, cultural and social labor as much as we value money, electrical skills, putting up drywall or cooking food
Third person decisions happen including everyone!

  • We want Omni to be a place for alternatives to capitalism, equitable distribution of power & resources, solidarity with people in struggle, fighting gentrification and freedom from harassment and violence.
Fourth-most-ness try at every meeting or gathering don't even say what you desire.

  • Our short-term goal is to collect all working group members who aren't part of existing collectives, or anyone interested in helping with our goals, and then to become an Omni member collective.
  • Our medium-term goal is to create a quick, easy path for new people to have a sense of ownership over the space, and give them a good experience which orients them to Omni's values and social contract.
  • Our long-term goal is to transform Omni into a place for alternatives to capitalism, equitable distribution of power & resources, solidarity with people in struggle, fighting gentrification and freedom from harassment and violence.
Bridging understanding is showing us the way.
