Here’s an opportunity to join climate activists converging on the state legislature to promote bills to tackle the climate crisis.
Following the California Climate Policy Summit March 19, Environment California will lead a day when people can meet directly with legislators and their staff to show them that climate is a top priority for voters in the state and push them to do everything they can to get climate bills passed.
After a brief “Lobbying 101” training, the group will walk from the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel over to the state capitol to begin meetings with legislators and their staff. Lunch will be provided at noon.
THIS FRIDAY – PACK THE COURT! 🖤🔥
Please join us this Friday, March 22 at 2pm to show solidarity in the fight for #Justice4StevenTaylor ! We will be in Department 8, at 1225 Fallon St.

Why do we do mass copwatching shifts?
This is a chance for us to teach our shifts practice: listening to the scanner, how to copwatch as a team, incident documentation, entry into our database, and more.
We hope that people will take what they learn into their daily lives AND join copwatch for some of our weekly shifts! We are always seeking to train up more shift facilitators.
Wanna know more about our shifts? Check out the copwatch handbook packed with 30+ years of experience. (https://www.berkeleycopwatch.org/handbook)

Earlier this year the Anti Police-Terror Project proudly launched The People’s Clinic with scheduling options every 1st and 3rd Friday at The People’s House in West Oakland. We created The People’s Clinic as an abolitionist healing space for communities affected by police terror and state violence, frontline organizers, and our West Oakland neighbors. We offer free services for community like acupuncture, herbal consultations, massage, healing tools library, monthly workshops, and more.
Our Healing Justice framework invites community to envision and manifest a life beyond the violence we survive everyday. Without healing there is no justice. Sign up today to join us for free healing services this Friday!
Our Clinic draws upon the revolutionary history of the Young Lords and seeks to honor the legacy of Dr. Mutulu Shakur. Ancestral medicine is one of the greatest strengths that our movement has to combat state violence, and it is a central value of APTP to utilize healing justice as a strategy for the longevity of organized resistance.

Hardware hack night – each Tuesday, we welcome sudoers new and old to bring their hardware projects to the space, or simply come by to learn and tinker! All welcome, 7pm til… whomever’s left standing!
Special Workshop Presentation and Explorations: XR in Art
What fine arts are doing with virtual reality / augmented reality and XR in general, and how can we make exhibits and virtual reality Art at SudoRoom and Beyond? We’ll be looking especially closely at the Venice Biennial Immersive and the Cannes XR Virtual Festival.
Also, how can you mix virtual reality with hardware? We have seen projects where people 3D print mountains or sculptures of maps.
Project Ideas
If we force you to watch a presentation, you’d better believe we’ll offer a workshop:
- Could we print a 3D printed map of Oakland or even make it out of paper machine and do light projection animations on it without having to use a headset?
- If we do have a VisionPro or Quest, could we use that to look at a 3D object?
- How can we make #webxr exhibits of our wonderful space and show off our projects? we already. have some throw-up explorations here https://fancy-charming-physician.glitch.me/
Hardware Hacking Tuesdays are better than ever! Plus Fix-It Clinic!
Each Tuesday we welcome all to bring their hardware (and software and firmware) projects to Omni Commons, or simply come by to learn and tinker! All welcome, about 7:30pm until ∞ …whomever’s left standing!

We’re days away from the California State Senate voting on three transformative bills to hold Big Oil accountable and protect communities from deadly oil and gas pollution. We just need to secure a few more votes to get these crucial protections passed into law.
How do we do this? Come out to the Capitol on Monday 8/26 at noon for a big joyous outpouring of support for this important legislation. Senators will be reviewing hundreds of bills in the final days of the session. We need to focus their attention on these bills and secure their support.
Sign up here to take a stand on the Capitol lawn!
Front groups for the oil industry have spent millions of dollars lobbying to sink these bills and protect Big Oil profits. One notorious oil industry group (sounds like whiska!) is even planning a rally next Monday at the Capitol. At high noon. Are we going to let them outflank us? Outnumber us? Nope!
About the bills:
- Idle Well Clean-Up (AB 1866 – Hart): Forces oil companies to clean up their idle wells much faster.
- Low-Producing Well Accountability Act (AB 2716 – Bryan): Fines oil companies operating in the Inglewood Oil Field $10,000/month for operating low-producing wells near communities.
- Local Environmental Choice and Safety Act (AB 3233 – Addis): Protects local governments’ authority to restrict oil & gas production in their jurisdictions. Passage of this bill will enable a Contra Costa drilling ban.
All of us together can show that our movement, and not Big Oil, has the people’s support. Please join us on Monday! Sign up and recruit others from your networks. Childless cat ladies most welcome.
Again, here’s the link to RSVP and request or offer a ride.
Cosponsors include 350 Sacramento, 350 Bay Area Action, California Environmental Justice Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, The Climate Center, Food & Water Watch, Greenpeace USA, Last Chance Alliance, Oil & Gas Action Network, Sacramento Climate Coalition, Sunflower Alliance and Third Act Sacramento.
Let’s have some fun on Monday and get these bills across the finish line. Yes, We Can win these vital protections for Californians, local democracy, and our climate! Please join us at this important demonstration of people power.
