Internal Structure

Last UpdatedJuly 23, 2019—This is in draft form.

Meetings

Meetings are used to make decisions, discuss ongoing issues, and to draw new members into the organization. All meetings are posted at https://baytanc.com/calendar/.

  • General Assembly: Every last Sunday, at Omni Commons in Oakland. Assembly is open to all, and is used for making TANC-wide decisions and organizing plans.
  • Monday Working Meeting: Every Monday preceding the last Sunday of each month. Closed for TANC members—used for making strategic and organizational decisions.
  • Local Meetings: Neighborhood Locals should have their own meetings. Check the TANC website calendar for meeting details. Local meetings are used to make organizing decisions locally—for example outreach events, or building organizing assistance. As of 2019, locals are currently being constructed, so most activity is centered around building capacity.

Committees

Committees serve the purpose of doing ongoing work that ensures that TANC continues to grow, interact with the three layers: TANC organizers, TANC adjacent tenants, and the unorganized.

  • On-boarding Committee: Takes care of integrating new members into TANC, and offering them a process by which they can become TANC organizers. Point person: Justin G.
  • Outreach Committee: Takes care of facebook event pages, monthly email newsletter, and some outreach event planning as needed. Point person: Leslie R.

Working Groups

Working groups are oriented around specific projects.

  • Houseless Working Group: The houseless organizing committee has been operative since mid-2018. See website calendar for meetings.
  • Public Housing Working Group: Public housing committee is currently on pause. Public housing committee began organizing at the Campbell Village in West Oakland in 2019. However, limited capacity has brought this organizing to a hault.

Locals

Local TANC chapters provide a meeting place for TANC organizers and members. In principal, TANC chapters will allow more local interactions and organization to happen. The TANC chapters are supposed to provide a base from which working class tenants can organize themselves, especially since local conditions sometimes require specific approaches.

Current Locals:

  • West Oakland: Need Local Email
  • East of the Lake: Need Local Email
  • North Oakland: Need Local Email
  • Berkeley: Need Local Email
