On March 31, 2023, Judge Lucretia Clemons of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas denied political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal’s legal appeal. Judge Clemons’ decision ludicrously claims that newly discovered evidence proving that key witnesses at Mumia’s trial were paid by (or received favours from) the District Attorney in exchange for their false testimony was “not material” to showing that the trial was unfair!

Mumia Abu-Jamal is innocent and should never have spent a day in jail. This decision shows that Mumia will never receive justice in the capitalist courts. Only mass demonstrations can win his release. Join us at a rally calling to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!

Mumia is Innocent! Free Mumia Now!

First – we need you to show up to support our unhoused nneighbors in West Oakland who are being displaced starting next Monday, April 10!

We got word last week that unfortunately the City of Oakland will be moving forward with evicting the last remaining residents of the Wood Street community in West Oakland. They claim to be clearing this lot to build “affordable” housing, but the reality is no one who is currently living there will be able to afford the proposed housing.

The expansive Wood Street settlement at one time stretched for more than 25 city blocks with an estimated 300 people living there; some residents have been there for nearly a decade! The Wood Street Commons, home to upwards of 60 people, is the last remaining segment of the settlement, and is now facing displacement with no permanent shelter options available.

When: Monday, April 10 – Friday, April 14 and Monday, April 17 – Friday, April 21; Starting at 8:30am and ending around 5-6pm every day
 

(Critical mass is needed first thing Monday morning and for press conference at 10am, Monday)

Meeting location: There will be a resource table close to the site (near 18th & Wood St) where you can drop off donations and find a point person who can give volunteers further direction

Instructions: Residents are in need of witnesses. Bring charged phones and battery pack if you have them. Be prepared to document. If recording, please focus the view on law enforcement and city workers. Wearing closed toed shoes, gloves and face mask recommended. Bring water, gatorade, ready-to-eat snacks, and heavy duty trash bags to donate at the resource table. Donations of cat carriers, dog leashes & collars are also welcome. Please try to park a few blocks away to give space for residents to move.

Secondly – Landlords are mobilizing against permanent teenant protections and your voice is needed on Tuesday, April 11!

Black renters are TWICE as likely to face eviction as white renters. The eviction moratorium will soon end in Oakland and we are calling on all tenants and allies to come out in person to Oakland City Hall to speak in support of strengthening permanent tenant protections.

Although this proposal is hardly radical and is more than fair to landlords, they are guaranteed to turn out in numbers to oppose it. If YOU are a tenant and the eviction moratorium has helped you, your voice is needed!

What: Show up to Oakland City Hall to Stop the Eviction Surge!
When: Tuesday, April 11
Where:

• Press Conference @ 1pm at 1425 Harrison Street, Oakland
• City Council Meeting @ 4pm at Oakland City Hall, 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Oakland, CA 94612 (start gathering at 2pm)

Note: We’re asking for as many people as possible to show up to City Hall (*masks required*) and begin to take a seat in the chambers by 2pm�sadly, a fringe group of landlords and extremmists plan to pack the chambers to erase the voice of renters, so we must fill the chambers! Public comment will begin shortly after 4pm.

If there isn’t any way you can make it in person, you can also join at 4pm by video conference (Zoom), or by dialing (669) 900-6833, Meeting ID: 861 3539 1880 (if asked for a participant ID or code, press #).

Your community is counting on you to take action!

United in struggle and liberation,

Anti Police-Terror Project

At the end of April, three of the world’s largest funders of fossil fuels will hold their Annual General Meetings: Wells Fargo, Citibank, and Bank of America. These three banks alone have loaned more than $789 billion to coal, oil, and gas companies since the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015.

With allies across the country – we are going to shut down, occupy, and disrupt business at the global headquarters of all three banks the day before their annual shareholder meetings. their most important meetings of the year. Citi’s HQ in New York, Bank of America’s HQ in Charlotte, and Wells Fargo’s HQ in San Francisco will each be subject to massive, disruptive and impossible-to-ignore protests.
Yes, it’s an early wake-up call, but we would love your support in downtown San Francisco as we disrupt the business as usual that is killing the planet.

Learn more and RSVP here.

WE NEED YOU to keep us winning, to secure our Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) for E12th which will be voted  at Oakland City Council’s CED meeting.

We hear there may be turnout to throw curve balls at our project, so we’d love your voices of support. Our project is committed to the diversity that won this campaign as outlined in the ENA from the BIPOC neighbors who most risk displacement to those we want to hire to build this housing. We want council members of the CED to: pass the E12th ENA for 100% affordable housing, support deeply affordable housing that the Peoples Proposal delivers, and keep Public Land for Public Good.

HERE’S THE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE FOR TURN OUT. Will you take action (at least email)?!

1. Public comment in person at CED meeting 4/25 Tue 1:30pm. City Hall (1 Frank Ogawa Plaza). Fill out a speaker card with the City Clerk, for item #6 on E12th.
2. Public comment by zoom or phone at CED meeting 4/25 Tue 1:30pm, for item #6 on E12th. Submit an Electronic Speaker Card to speak via zoom or phone by emailing CityClerk@OaklandCa.Gov to get on stack before the item comes up. Speaker card link: https://www.oaklandca.gov/services/fill-out-a-speaker-card
3. Email City Council by tomorrow morning to support our E12th ENA at council@oaklandca.gov. Here’s a sample message:

Subject: Support E12th Peoples Proposal ENA

Dear Oakland City Council and members of CED,

I’m a supporter of the E12th community’s campaign for public land for public good, and the Peoples Proposal for 100% affordable housing on our city’s public land on E12th St. Please vote yes on the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement to build the Peoples Proposal for deeply affordable housing. Thank you! (your name)

We appreciate you for taking action. Let’s keep winning!

On the eve of Chevron’s annual shareholder meeting, frontline communities—in Richmond and around the world—have a message for Chevron’s senior management, board of directors, and shareholders:  clean up your act, and stop profiting off the destruction of communities and the environment!

The event in Richmond is part of a global day of action by the True Cost of Chevron Network, a global alliance of affected communities and environmental and human rights organizations that has been protesting Chevron’s criminal activities around the world for over a decade.

LIMATE EMERGENCY PROTEST

Weather whiplash, increasing greenhouse gases, and rising temperatures – the evidence is clear. Our government needs to act. Tell the President and other leaders to take strong action now to bring an end to the climate crisis.

It’s time for an end to the fossil fuel era!

This event is part of the People vs. Fossil Fuels Coalition nationwide day of action.

We are taking action to ask Biden to END THE ERA OF FOSSIL FUELS!

Biden promised to be a climate president – yet under his watch, the U.S. continues to be the biggest producer of oil and gas in the world. Frontline communities & global scientists have been abundantly clear – we cannot avoid the very worst impacts of the climate crisis if we allow for any more fossil development.

This year, we have a key opportunity to demand Biden take bold action to stop fossil fuels — by leveraging pressure on a global stage. In September, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is hosting a global Climate Ambition Summit where the “ticket to entry” is tangible action to keep fossil fuels – the core driver of the climate emergency – in the ground.

Starting this June, we’re mobilizing to turn up the pressure to make Biden end the era of fossil fuels — and we need YOU to join us!

We refuse to let the memory of our friend and neighbor Banko Brown fade away. The injustice of their death at the hands of private security still hovers over the city. Meanwhile, the core causes of this tragedy have yet to be addressed.

In recent weeks, fellow comrades have taken direct action across the city, declaring war on the capitalist police state that fuels violence against the poor, vulnerable and unhoused all over the Bay.

Mayor London Breed deserves to feel the displeasure and agitation of the masses in the face of this violence. So does DA Brooke Jenkins. So does every pig, corporate executive and privileged person who judges from their home, claiming that “theft” and “drugs” are destroying SF.

Ironic, considering the only thing destroying SF is the callous hand of capitalist liberalism, propped up by people who defend a wage-stealing corporate retailer over the needs of struggling people.

We refuse to march down this path toward oblivion, paved with the blood of Banko and so many other working-class people who have been oppressed by police and security forces across the city.

Instead, JOIN US on FRIDAY, JUNE 23rd as we raise our fists and voices for a revolution in thought and action.

We can do better. We MUST do better. AVENGE BANKO! DEFEND TRANS LIVES!

SEIU Local 1000 represents the largest group of California state employees. That includes nearly 1700 members and represented workers in San Francisco county specifically. The statewide member lead bargaining team’s main economic proposal in collective bargaining to our boss the State is a 30% General Salary Increase and full coverage of health care premiums for all represented workers.

We are reaching the final moments of negotiating time as the contract expires on June 30th. We call on all labor allies San Francisco Labor Council affiliates to join us for this Wednesday June 29th, 1:00 pm San Francisco Civic Center Plaza march.

SEIU Local 1000 is not backing down and intends to fight. Recently, State Senator Scott Wiener declared himself an ally for state employees. SEIU Local 1000 needs him to show up now for our fight for higher wages, and better benefits and work life conditions.

Join us, June 29th from 1pm – 2pm and march with us for a better State, and for a better future.

For justice, for solidarity!
