<div dir="ltr">Okay, in the interest of adding value to the space

legal advice, it's an off-the-cuff response to a (probably
badly) phrased question, no legal relationship is explicitly or
implicitly expressed, etc:

<div>> That could theoretically get them in trouble, yeah. If
it's purely about giving some of their active members a place
to meet and talk about whatever, that is probably okay, but
the more they explicitly make it about a meetup to support a
political candidate, the higher the risk to their tax exempt
status. This wouldn't require anyone raising it / reporting it
as a concern, either. The IRS could find out through a random
audit etc. </div>

<div>Public libraries are used, but they provide
their spaces equally, first come, first serve
meeting areas, same prices for all regardless
of what they're being used for and the
non-meeting areas are open to anyone.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>The thing is groups know how libraries
provide services, the problem will come if
Noisebridge allows the Sanders supporters and
people from another campaign decide to
complain w/o asking if you will provide them
space equally.<br>
