Earlier this year the Anti Police-Terror Project proudly launched The People’s Clinic with scheduling options every 1st and 3rd Friday at The People’s House in West Oakland. We created The People’s Clinic as an abolitionist healing space for communities affected by police terror and state violence, frontline organizers, and our West Oakland neighbors. We offer free services for community like acupuncture, herbal consultations, massage, healing tools library, monthly workshops, and more.
Our Healing Justice framework invites community to envision and manifest a life beyond the violence we survive everyday. Without healing there is no justice. Sign up today to join us for free healing services this Friday!
Our Clinic draws upon the revolutionary history of the Young Lords and seeks to honor the legacy of Dr. Mutulu Shakur. Ancestral medicine is one of the greatest strengths that our movement has to combat state violence, and it is a central value of APTP to utilize healing justice as a strategy for the longevity of organized resistance.

Hardware hack night – each Tuesday, we welcome sudoers new and old to bring their hardware projects to the space, or simply come by to learn and tinker! All welcome, 7pm til… whomever’s left standing!
Special Workshop Presentation and Explorations: XR in Art
What fine arts are doing with virtual reality / augmented reality and XR in general, and how can we make exhibits and virtual reality Art at SudoRoom and Beyond? We’ll be looking especially closely at the Venice Biennial Immersive and the Cannes XR Virtual Festival.
Also, how can you mix virtual reality with hardware? We have seen projects where people 3D print mountains or sculptures of maps.
Project Ideas
If we force you to watch a presentation, you’d better believe we’ll offer a workshop:
- Could we print a 3D printed map of Oakland or even make it out of paper machine and do light projection animations on it without having to use a headset?
- If we do have a VisionPro or Quest, could we use that to look at a 3D object?
- How can we make #webxr exhibits of our wonderful space and show off our projects? we already. have some throw-up explorations here https://fancy-charming-physician.glitch.me/

EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kit Walsh will join us this month to discuss the potential risks of AI being used to automate discrimination. AI might seem like a helpful tool for processing applications, or informing people about opportunities, but the black box nature of these algorithms can result in systems with difficult to detect bias among protected classes. Kit will review EFF’s analysis of this problem and discuss our approach to policy remedies, before opening up to a discussion for EFA members.
RSVP: https://eff.org/EFA-AI-Discrimination

It’s almost election day! But our work doesn’t end with voting.

As we suspected, the number of arrests of individuals under some form of ICE surveillance (via formal check-ins with ICE and/or through the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program/ISAP) has significantly increased since the start of the Trump Administration. CJE has connected with dozens of groups across the country about how these arrests have been carried out and have identified a few patterns that ICE appears to be following – most notably the use of ruse tactics to trick people and then arrest them. We are continuing to track these arrests so please reach out directly if you have information that would help our efforts.
We’ve updated the resource we released back in January “When ICE is Watching: Know Your Fight, Protect Your People”, which provides information to people under ICE surveillance about the risks for arrest and detention, with the information that we’ve been able to collect so far about these arrests. The resource is now available in English, Spanish, French, Wolof, Simplified Chinese, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Cebuano, Farsi, and Pashto. You can find the folder with all the resources here: https://bit.ly/knowyourfight. Please continue to share it widely!
Additionally, if your organization is working with people under any kind of ICE surveillance we want to invite you to join us for a community conversation on Friday, March 7th at 9:30am PT/12:30pm ET. At this meeting, we will briefly review the resource, discuss how these arrests have been conducted, and any connections that might exist between them. We want groups to discuss what they’re witnessing and how they’re supporting community members under ICE surveillance. You must register here to participate.
If you can’t make the meeting, but want to be in touch with us, please fill out this link.
Registration is required – secure your seat here.
