El Taller Legal por internet de East Oakland #here2stay

El Sustainable Economies Law Center (Centro Legal de Economías Sostenibles, o SELC, por sus siglas en inglés) da apoyo legal directo a personas y grupos que están trabajando para crear nuevas soluciones para economías locales resilientes. El Resilient Communities Legal Cafe (Taller de Temas Legales para Comunidades Resilientes) ofrece asesoramiento legal basado en donaciones, vía Zoom, con cita previa.

Si necesitas asesoramiento sobre la creación de una cooperativa de trabajo que sea propiedad de los trabajadores, la conversión de un negocio existente en una cooperativa, la organización de una cooperativa de viviendas, la fundación de una organización sin fines de lucro u otra empresa social, ¡por favor, confirma tu asistencia a continuación!

Estas son algunas preguntas que estaremos preparados para responder:

❖ Derecho radical sobre Bienes Raíces: ¿Cómo formar una cooperativa de viviendas, una cooperativa de bienes raíces o una vivienda sin fines de lucro?

❖ Estructura legal para pequeñas empresas: ¿Cuáles son las normas y requisitos para que tu organización funcione legalmente?

❖ Elección de entidad legal: ¿Debería tu organización ser “con fines de lucro” o “sin fines de lucro”, y qué entidad legal encaja mejor con tu visión?

❖ Derecho laboral: Tanto si eres empleador, empleado o cooperativa, podemos responder a preguntas sobre cómo prevenir o resolver problemas.

❖ Derecho fiscal: ¿Cuáles son las formas de recibir la exención de impuestos para tu organización?

❖ Contratos: Revisión, redacción y negociación de contratos.

❖ Temas sobre responsabilidad civil o legal: ¿Cuáles son sus requisitos de gobernanza para evitar problemas sobre responsabilidad civil o legal?

❖ Derecho medioambiental: ¿Tienes dudas sobre cómo crear más espacios verdes para tu comunidad?

❖ Organizaciones sin fines de lucro autogestionadas por sus trabajadores: ¿Cómo puedes operar tu organización sin fines de lucro de forma más parecida a una cooperativa que sea        propiedad de sus trabajadores?

Nota: Animamos especialmente a la gente negra, indígena, personas de color y comunidades de bajos ingresos a registrarse para este evento. Nos centramos en cooperativas, organizaciones sin fines de lucro participativas o democráticas, fideicomisos de tierras y grupos de ayuda mutua. Si necesitas interpretación al español o al lenguaje de signos estadounidense (ASL), manda un correo electrónico a Hope ([email protected]) con el “Asunto:” (Subject:) "Solicitud de interpretación para el evento (fecha) [mes/día/año]". Haremos todo lo posible por atender tu solicitud.

Cuando te registres, te enviaremos un correo electrónico (email). Ese mensaje por email tendrá información sobre tu turno, instrucciones sobre cómo participar en nuestro Taller Legal por internet y un Formulario de Admisión que necesitamos que completes tú y tus asociados.

Formato: Tú y/o tu grupo tendrán una cita con un/a abogado/a durante 30 a 45 minutos, para obtener respuestas a preguntas sobre estructuras (legales) de entidades, contratos, gobernanza, ¡y mucho más!

Ya que nuestra sede está en Oakland, los horarios de nuestros eventos son a la hora estándar del Pacífico (PST).

¿Tienes alguna pregunta?
¡Envía un email a [email protected]

Sólo es necesario confirmar la asistencia de una persona por grupo.
