Thanks for your support of Omni Commons' crowdfunding<br>campaign. We're in the midst of our last week and blasting the below<br>message to as many people as possible. If you think it's a good fit,<br>could you forward along to the p2p foundation list, with the amended<br>subject line, 'Only one week left to contribute - Open the Omni Commons!'?<br><br>Many thanks <3<br><br>------<br>Howdy,<br><br>There’s only one week left to contribute to our crowdfunding campaign,<br>and we’re really close to reaching our goal. Please donate now, and<br>share this message as far as you possibly can!<br><br><a href="https://omnicommons.org/donate" target="_blank">https://omnicommons.org/donate</a><br><br>We only need another $12,225! Thanks to the generosity of our community,<br>we’ve received $40,000 in major donations plus $27,775 in grassroots<br>funding through our crowdfunding campaign page. That means, together,<br>we’ve raised $67,775--approaching our overall goal of $80,000.<br><br>What does it mean to forge a commons?<br><br>Everywhere on the planet, those spaces, places, and resources that we<br>share and hold in common are being targeted and exploited for personal<br>gain and corporate profit. It is up to all of us to preserve whatever<br>commons we still have, and to forge new ones whenever possible.<br><br>The Omni Commons has tremendous potential to become a critical community<br>space. In order to ensure our doors can open, and remain open, we need<br>your help today.<br><br><a href="https://omnicommons.org/donate" target="_blank">https://omnicommons.org/donate</a><br><br>Although it is an important one, fundraising isn’t our only goal. Our<br>collective of collectives includes many veterans of the Occupy movement<br>who have developed effective community building and organizing<br>strategies based on shared values: the commoning of space and resources,<br>liberation of knowledge, transformative justice, and solidarity with<br>struggles against capitalism, racism, misogyny, and other forms of<br>violence. To spread awareness of the potential for decentralized,<br>people-powered community spaces like this to run autonomously, not only<br>in the East Bay, but all around the world, is part of our long-term<br>mission. As for Oakland specifically, where economic disparity and<br>displacement have pushed long-time residents out of the area, we see a<br>real need for projects that provide space and resources in a manner more<br>befitting of the city’s radical history of creativity, cooperation and<br>social justice organizing.<br><br>Love and Solidarity,<br>The Omni Commons Fundraising Working Group--<br><br>-----<br>Jenny<br><a href="http://jennyryan.net/" target="_blank">http://jennyryan.net</a><br><a href="http://sudomesh.org/" target="_blank">http://sudomesh.org</a><br><a href="http://thevirtualcampfire.org/" target="_blank">http://thevirtualcampfire.org</a><br><a href="http://technomadic.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">http://technomadic.tumblr.com</a><br><br>`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`<br>"Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories."<br>-Laurie Anderson</div></div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: <a href="http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan" target="_blank">http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan</a> </div><div><br></div>P2P Foundation: <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://p2pfoundation.net</a> - <a href="http://blog.p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://blog.p2pfoundation.net</a> <br><br><a href="http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation" target="_blank"></a>Updates: <a href="http://twitter.com/mbauwens" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/mbauwens</a>; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens</a><br><br>#82 on the (En)Rich list: <a href="http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/" target="_blank">http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/</a> <br></div></div>
