For the 4th year in a row, the Anti Police-Terror Project (APTP) is calling on folks to come out in solidarity over the MLK Day weekend and say no to white supremacy, no to state-sponsored terror, no to development over people, no to misogyny, no to homophobia and transphobia, no to the targeting of immigrants and Muslims. #WeWillNotComply #96Hours

SURJ Bay Area will be kicking off its participation in the #96Hours to Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy with a morning rally and human billboard at Rockridge BART.

We’ll be holding up signs and passing out flyers to morning commuters that focus on the theme of the day – state-sponsored violence – by highlighting alternatives to calling police, including BART police, as well as looking at their role in upholding white supremacy.

We’ll also be inviting people to come out for the 4th Annual March to Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy on Monday, January 15th.

Join SURJ for one shift or stay the whole time!

On Aug. 14, Takiyah Thompson climbed a confederate monument and invited Durham to choose what side we’d be on: the side of freedom and liberation or the side of white supremacy and oppression. Durham chose freedom and liberation and pulled down the racist confederate monument that has been terrorizing Black and Brown people in front of the old courthouse since 1924. http://doitlikedurham.org/janweekofaction/

Since then, Takiyah and several others have been fighting felony and misdemeanor charges connected to the statue toppling. On Jan. 11, these brave anti-racist fighters return to court for trial. Will you stand in solidarity with Takiyah and the #DefendDurham arrestees? Learn more here about the national week of action to demand that all charges be dropped! Fighting white supremacy is not a crime! http://doitlikedurham.org/janweekofaction/

We will show the film: Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case For Reasonable Doubt.

This film showing will accompanied by a discussion (Q. +A., debate, and organizing strategies)

Donations will be shared with the OMNI (50/50)

Our neighborhood canvassing program has created opportunities for small, intimate canvassing groups to coalesce around neighborhoods in Berkeley and Oakland. There’s nothing more inspiring, though, than a room full of hundreds of socialists ready to hit the streets and canvass the whole East Bay, armed with clipboards and a materialist analysis of social antagonisms.

Monthly interfaith prayer meeting, held on second Sundays, dedicated to survivors and victims of violence and police terror in Oakland.

“Remember the saying: ‘Of all pilgrimages the greatest is to relieve the sorrow-laden heart.'” ~ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

The Baha’i community of Oakland is organizing this gathering for the community to connect, share prayers, writings and poems from all spiritual traditions, reflect and recharge and build coalitions interested in healing.

Come share prayers, quotes, poems, and favorite passages from your scriptures with us. Simple breakfast will be served.

“Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.” ~ Bahá’u’lláh

Green Sunday (1/14):  Meet Our Candidates: for Governor of California and Mayor of Oakland

 

January’s Green Sunday will be your opportunity to meet two of our Party’s candidates in the 2018 election.  Josh Jones is seeking our Party’s endorsement for governor.  He has a scientific background in geology and hydrology and lives in Davis.  In 2016, he was an active supporter of Bernie Sanders and a leader of his campaign in Yolo County.  In 2017 he returned to the Green Party, tired of the behavior of the “regular”  Democrats.  Hopefully he can bring other Berniecrats to our Party.  For more information, please see his website:  http://josh4gov.org

Our second speaker is Saied Karamooz, who is running for Mayor of Oakland.  Saied has been involved in a number of progressive campaigns over the years.  Most notably, he has been serving as an active member of the Coalition for Police Accountability that spearheaded Measure LL, resulting in the establishment of a Police Commission in Oakland.  Currently he is a commissioner on Oakland’s Privacy Advisory Commission and President of the Jack London Improvement District.  Over the past few years, Saied has supported initiatives such as the Fight for 15, Stop Urban Shield, the Public Bank of Oakland, and No Coal in Oakland.  Saied’s campaign website (everyonesmayor.org) provides a clear outline of how to make Oakland an equitable city for all.

We may have some additional candidates present.  We will also have time for questions and comments from the audience.

Join us for the Fourth Annual March to Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy….A mass mobilization. We ask everyone to come together for the Reclaiming King’s Radical Legacy March through the streets of Oakland. It’s the culmination of our #96Hours of Direct Action.

This year’s theme is #NonCompliance with the Trump/Schaff regimes’ corporate agenda. Stay tuned for more info about the march, which will be a family friendly event.

Please see our call to action below, including how you can get involved in planning the march and the preceding days of direct action.

#WEWILLNOTCOMPLY
96 Hours of Non-Compliance Over King Day Weekend

It’s that time again, Bay Area! For the fourth year in a row, for #96hours over the King Day Weekend, the Anti Police-Terror Project calls our comrades into the streets to stand in solidarity and say no to white supremacy, say no to state sponsored terror, say no to development over people, say no to misogyny, say no to homophobia and transphobia, say no to the targeting of immigrants, say no to the targeting of Muslims. We call on you to join us and show the Trump-Schaff Regimes that WE WILL NOT COMPLY with their corporate agenda.

We call upon groups large and small, well-established or brand new, to plan your own action(s) within a common framework:
On Friday, January 12, 2018, we are calling for actions that focus on State-Sponsored Violence.
On Saturday, January 13, 2018, we are calling for actions that focus on Housing.
On Sunday January 14, 2018, we are calling for actions that focus on Indigenous/International Solidarity.

On Monday, January 15, 2018, we reclaim MLK Day.
Our #96hours culminates with a mass mobilization, and we ask everyone to come together for the Reclaiming King’s Radical Legacy March through the streets of Oakland.

Furthermore, we call upon both individuals and groups in our community (whether you’re planning an action or not) to come together in a series of spokescouncil meetings in order to coordinate and support the many actions that will be planned:
Wednesday 1/3 7:00 – 9:30 pm
Saturday 1/6 1:00 – 3:30 pm
Monday 1/8 7:00 – 9:30 pm
Wednesday 1/10 7:00 – 9:30 pm

These meetings will be held at ACCE Action, 2501 International Blvd in Oakland

Even before Trump took office and the KKK took off their hoods, we saw open displays of white supremacy and state-sponsored violence in the Bay Area. We saw police agents murder our Black and Brown community members in broad daylight with no repercussions. We saw local city governments embolden law enforcement departments with unlimited overtime, paid leave after murdering residents, militarized equipment, and a blank check to use dangerous and “non”-lethal devices to crack down on our culture and political dissent.

Even before the Oakland Police Department received national news coverage for the rape of a young teen sex worker by tens of law enforcement agents across the Bay Area, we saw the open sexual harassment and exploitation of our Black and Brown community members in broad daylight with no repercussions.

Even before the GOP-controlled U.S. Congress began its warpath to destroy healthcare and public education and exacerbate poverty, we saw our local city governments do NOTHING to aid long-time residents at risk FOR YEARS as the housing crisis continues to grow worse and worse.

That’s why we are telling all agents of our oppression, from 45 to Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf that WE WILL NOT COMPLY with their corporate agenda.
