Medicine to the People: Stories from Community Health Projects (Sun May 25)

by Yar

In 8 days, Sudoroom will host these amazing people! https://www.facebook.com/events/1430569700530791/ -- The Bay Area is blessed to have some amazing and inspiring community health projects that bring healing and medicine to the people. These projects save lives, increase access and sustain communities in struggle. Come for an evening celebrating healers building projects to reclaim medicine in different communities and hear their stories! Donations will be accepted for Sharena of People's Community Medics in a effort to get her a van so she can continue her work Speakers: Sharena Thomas- People’s Community Medics http://www.peoplescommunitymedics.org/ Sharena is a long-time organizer, warrior and single mother of 4 who has co-founded People's Community Medics. She is the daughter of parents who she frequently stopped with as a child to respond to community emergencies. She has worked within her community of various projects including community cleanups and anti-police brutality efforts fighting for justice for families of victims in her community as well as family members. The People’s Community Medics (PCM) was founded in the summer of 2011 by Sharena Thomas and Lesley Phillips. As members of the Oscar Grant Committee we learned that the BART police refused to call an ambulance for 20 minutes for fatally wounded Oscar Grant, despite the passionate pleas for medical help from his friends who were detained at the Fruitvale station by the police. That experience as well as our knowledge that 911 calls often do not result in an ambulance arriving in a timely manner to Black, Brown and poor neighborhoods largely inspired us to teach our people basic emergency first aid so that we can help one another until an ambulance arrives. Michelle Steinberg- Consultas Naturistas Program at Street Level Health Project http://www.streetlevelhealth.org/ Michelle started Consultas Naturistas, the nutrition and herbal medicine clinic at Street Level Health Project, in 2009 to provide free, Spanish/English bilingual, integrative health care to low-income individuals in East Oakland. Hundreds of clients have received holistic care and medicine through the program. Visits last approximately 30-60 minutes per person and involve a client-centered discussion of health history and lifestyle, focused on nutrition, exercise, and sleep habits. Clients receive free custom blended tinctures and teas, as well as vitamins and supplements. Street Level Health Project, which houses the program, is a multi-purpose organization focused on both health care navigation and worker empowerment. In addition to Consultas Naturistas, there is a doctor on-site three days/week to provide basic medical treatment, while health navigators direct clients to outside service providers for on-going or specialized care. Other core programs include mental health services, exercise/yoga classes, free lunches and food bags, and a workers’ collective. Orlando- HEPPAC, Berkeley Free Clinic, Oasis http://www.casasegura.org/ http://www.berkeleyfreeclinic.org/ Orlando a community advocate at HEPPAC and BFC and a senior peer educator at Oasis Clinic. He will talk about his experiences in approaching hep c, hiv and other health related concerns, primarily among former and current consumers of substance. It's all in the approach. Laura--Berkeley Free Clinic Laura works with the Berkeley Free Clinic and will speak on her experience as well as the pitfalls of liberal healthcare.

[Omni] Feedback on Bylaws for the Omni Oakland Collective

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all! The Omni Oakland Collective is the non-profit organization serving as an umbrella for the current 'collective of collectives' seeking to move together into 4799 Shattuck. We are currently in the process of applying for 501c3 status. "OMNI Oakland Collective is comprised of several Bay Area collectives. Its express purpose is to build consensus among member collectives with minimal possible bureaucracy for the administration of a common space and sharing of resources for the use and stewardship of the greater community. The point of the OMNI Oakland Collective is NOT to function as any sort of governing body for the groups involved in any general sense. There are no senators. Its only and sole point is to administer the space, pay bills, make group decisions about the shared space, resolve any conflicts between the groups in the space, interface with the state, banks, authorities, etc. Logistics and bureaucracy: That's it." See the current draft of the bylaws here: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Bylaws Feedback is requested over the next month to incorporate them into the new version of the bylaws. You can post feedback or questions to this thread, make a diff on the wiki, or add to the Riseup pad: http://pad.riseup.net/p/omnibylaws Cheers, Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://sudomesh.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." - -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Since late 2013 is has been apparent that many organisations working in the field of open share areas of overlap. The Coalition aims to eliminate duplication, keep lines of communication between organisations and communities strong and open and help develop closer ties between open groups. The project has been initially funded by Wikimedia UK, and is proud to include Creative Commons, Open Knowledge and Open Streetmap as first-phase collaborators. In order to celebrate this exciting new collaboration, we'd like to invite any organisations in London to an Open Coalition Meet & Greet: When: Mon, May 19, 4pm Where: Wikimedia UK Office and online Why? To help us start building the Open Coalition We'll also have a dial-in set up for those who are outside the UK, so everyone can take part. Can't make it to the Meet & Greet? There are some simple things you can do to get involved and help us build the coalition: Follow @opencoalition on Twitter for all the latest news Tweet this: Help spread open collaboration across the web.

DearFCC petition by the Electronic Frontier Foundation

Sign it here: https://www.dearfcc.org/ For background on the latest drama in net neutrality, try this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/net-neutrality-issue-puts… I wrote about this one nonprofit community technology org I am a member of and how this could potentially put us in a position where we would have to sacrifice our communications reach in order to continue providing free technology access and training.

Announcing changes to articles of association

by Marc Juul

These additions to our articles of association were consensed upon at the previous sudo room meeting. I think they may not have been announced: = Article 5. Empowerment of members = == Section 5.1 Non-member access == * To empower members to deal with problematic non-members: ** Any member may deny non-members access to sudo room assets (and require the non-member in question to vacate the physical space) at any time, with no reason given, unless some other member currently present in the space is willing to vouch for the non-member in question as a guest. ** Before denying a non-member access (and requiring the non-member in question to vacate the physical space), the member must ask both the non-member and the members present in the space if any member is vouching for the non-member as a guest. ** For a non-member, being denied access (and required to vacate the physical space) is not a ban, and the non-member in question may return after 12 hours. == Section 5.2 Domestic Use == The bay area is in the throes of a housing crisis. Despite the abundance of resources (space, buildings, etc), the distribution of those resources is unfair. For many it can be costly and difficult to fulfill the basic human need of shelter. However, sudo room, as a creative community and hacker space, must maintain a division between habitation and usage of the space. As such the following are resolved: * sudo room is not intended to be used for habitation or domestic purposes. * No-one is allowed to sleep in sudo room at any time. * Any member can require that anyone sleeping in sudo room must leave immediately. * Repeated sleeping at sudo room is grounds for being temporarily or permanently denied access to sudo room's assets, including its physical space. ----------------- Our current articles of association are always available here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association
