Yesterday (March 18) the City Council voted 7-0 to increase canine-American access to city parks, from which they had previously been almost completely barred. They are going to read the ordinance again on April 1st, after which the hated NO DOGS signs will hopefully start to come down.
Also, I want to encourage my peeps to sign up to speak out at next Tuesday’s City Council meeting where the City will consider dramatically expanding both on and off leash dog walking in parks. Oakland has very restrictive ordinances regulating where dogs can be walked, generally dogs are not allowed in City parks, even on leash, and they can’t even legally gather at OGP to demand a redress of grievances. Sign a speaker card here, it is Agenda Item #12:

Speak up for me since speciests laws prevent me from speaking for myself.
