Just a short little update for backers - we just got confirmation that Tacoma Coop Net will be using the Solidarity Center for their activities in the neighborhood!
TCN is a very cool cooperative that uses mesh networking technology to bring affordable Internet access to Tacoma's poorer neighborhoods. It's organized as a cooperative owned by its members and has a political and educational mission as well as simply connecting homes to the internet. I'm very excited for them to start collaborating with the Solidarity Center!
While our current arrangement just involves TCN hosting public meetings in the Center, it's possible that in the future our space could also become a cooperative wireless Internet hotspot and relay.
