There is an ongoing overnight vigil at Oscar Grant plaza. It’s been very, very cold at nights, and folks are facing harassment by the Oakland PD resulting in continual loss of belongings, and a feeling of isolation.
Please offer your companionship if you have time, and/or contribute these urgently needed items by bringing them down to the vigil:
food (preferably hot)
wool socks
thermal long bottoms and tops
hats
blankets
sleeping bags
Laundry is also a challenge. If you know of an available washer/dryer that can be moved to the 10th Street house, the 10th Street folks can help the vigil people with laundry. If you can help by doing laundry for the vigil members, that would be wonderful too.
Finally, if you can check with the 10th Street house occupiers to get a grocery list and then bring them back food that they can cook for the vigil, that would also be very helpful.”
