Omni Commons

The Omni Commons are a group of thirteen collectives in San Fransisco's Bay Area devoted to DIY and community education.[1][2][3] It traces its inception to the Occupy movement, specifically Occupy Oakland, and was founded in 2014 on the principles of "community, positive creation and radical inclusion".[4][5]

Collectives

The Commons currently consist of 13 member collectives ranging from activist groups to hackerspaces,[5][6] each of which have a representative in the Omni Oakland Collective's Delegate Council, the decision making body of the group.[7] Collectives include:

Counter Culture Labs

A DIY Biology lab in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood, Counter Culture Labs serves as a community laboratory and hackerspace for people from any skill level.[8]

Sudo Room

An open membership hackerspace in Oakland with an emphasis on community outreach and service.[9]
