Calendar
Party, feast, slide show, games, toasts, music. We are awesome, let’s celebrate.
“From the folks who brought you the West Coast Port Shutdown.”
The OO Labor Solidarity Committee meets weekly, with every other meeting being held at Oscar Grant Plaza weather permitting. This week’s meeting will take place at UNITE HERE, on the 2nd floor of 1440 Broadway.
Topics will include a review of the Port Workers Assembly put on by this committee Saturday, a discussion of what we might do for November 2nd, the one year anniversary of the General Strike, possibly a report back from the ILWU Executive Board meeting with the Blueford family, along with ILWU, Castlewood, Airport workers, United Food Workers and other labor activity updates.
On December 11th, civil rights attorney Jim Chanin will file a motion to put OPD under Federal receivership.
How would Federal control affect the people of Oakland?
Will a federally controlled police force be more interested in crime suppression or political repression?
How much will the people pay?
Presentation and Speakout with update on court case by Jim Chanin.
A number of comrades are having their arraignments at 1:30 PM in San Francisco. They were attacked and beaten by police on Saturday, charged with felony conspiracy and other charges, and had astronomical bails set.
Come out and support them!
(If you were at the protest peeps in the know suggest that you NOT go to the courthouse in support)
My understanding is that one comrade from Seattle, Cami (?), is having her arraignment at 9:00 AM at the same location tomorrow. According to the latest information, Cami is being arraigned at 1:30 PM as well.
NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT OUR NORMAL MEETING PLACE. WHILE IT IS AN SEIU HALL, IT IS A DIFFERENT SEIU HALL (on Oak St, not Myrtle St).
We are now meeting weekly. After our BBQ, our speakout, and our events at City Hall which drew much attention to Alan’s cause in the media and hence the general public, and the DA’s pronoucement that Masso was justified in gunning Alan down, we will be planning further steps in our search for Justice 4 Alan Blueford. Come help us out!
A couple of the things we are planning are to put further pressure on the District Attorney to charge Officer Masso with murder, and we are in the early stages of organizing a large march in November with an emphasis on opposition to Stop & Frisk, the policy which led directly to Alan’s death, and the repeal of the Police Officers’ Bill of Rights, a California law which protects Officer Masso from investigation unlike ordinary citizens.

“Today
7:30pm
the HOLDOUT
From the Red Scare of 1919-1920 to the McCarthy period of the 1950′s to the COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) era of the 1960′s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has operated primarily as America’s political police. With the recent alegations that long time activist and former Black Panther member Richard Ioki was an FBI informant it is imperative that militants become familiar with the History of COINTELPRO.”

We are now meeting weekly. After the release of the (redacted) police report, the (whitewashed) DA’s report and its pronouncement that Masso was justified in gunning Alan down, and our press conference denouncing same, we will be planning further steps in our search for Justice 4 Alan Blueford. Come help us out!
We are in the early stages of organizing a large march for November 10th, 2012 with an emphasis on opposition to Racial Profiling, particularly Oakland’s de facto Stop & Frisk policy — which led directly to Alan’s death — and the repeal of the Police Officers’ Bill of Rights, a California law which protects Officer Masso from investigation unlike ordinary citizens.

Since there currently is no communal space for them, people can contribute time and resources, assist in organizing, and share this information with others who may have resources to contribute.
Most Immediate need:
- Safe shelter (Do you know of any vacant shelter, or
- an affordable apartment for rent?
- Are you able to put a Mom and her child/ren up for a couple of nights?
- Do you have other suggestions for housing resources?)
Other needs:
- Diapers
- Food
- Transportation (for donations as well as helping Mom’s get from one safe place to another)
- Baby Clothes
Over the next month we hope to organize an event to raise awareness about this issue, to ask for donations of goods or funds, and to organize an affinity or working group that can help build a sustainable commune where the needs of those who face the most challenging circumstances will be central.
If any Occupy Oakland Committee is interested in helping in this area and working together, please let us know!
We can be contacted at OOMothersAndChildren@gmail.com.

The DA’s report was released last week. The DA refuses to prosecute Officer Miguel Masso for the murder of Alan Blueford.
The DA’s report was full of lies and took no account of the evidence or the testimony of many witnesses.
Come here the Blueford family speak. Come hear the lies denounced and the investigative failures exposed.
Sponsored by the Justice 4 Alan Blueford Coalition.

Mi Pueblo Markets chain has announced that it will implement E-Verify, a government database that allows Mi Pueblo to refuse work to undocumented workers. We will NOT stand by as Mi Puebloe discriminates against member of our community! Mi Pueblo has also refused to hire African-American workers and is under investigation for firing a pregnant woman.
We demand Mi Pueblo stop all unfair labor practices, discrimination, and re-hire fired workers immediately! We call on the community to support Mi Pueblo workers’ right to organize without Juevanal Chavez’s (the owner) intimidation and retaliation.
