Join us on September 7 to Protest the Extradition Hearing of Julian Assange.

Now is a critical time to stand for Julian Assange.

We hope everyone is doing ok after all the fires & amidst pandemic times.

Sadly, the show trial of Julian Assange marches on, and intensifies our need to ACT to save his life – along with saving our freedom of speech & journalism worldwide. His extradition hearing starts on September 7, 2020 at the Old Bailey in London. It is anticipated to last for three weeks.

We would like to show our solidarity with the global #Candles4Assange events in support of Julian. Please join us in:

  1. VIRTUALLY by sharing a photo of your live, virtual, solo, or group events/actions around the Bay Area this month.
  2. Join us LIVE at our event on September 7th, if you can, to stand for Julian Assange in peaceful protest. Our main goal is presence & educating the public with fliers and information.Please bring signs/banners/fliers if you have them, but mainly just show up. Safe distancing & masks please.
  3. We realize that not everyone can attend live or in San Francisco. We’re glad to support anyone having any sort of action. NO ACTION IS TOO SMALL & ANYTHING POSITIVE/WELL-INTENTIONED HELPS!

Julian’s farce trial is set to go on for weeks; any action you may take on any day will add to the cumulative difference. But NOW is the time.

Please let us know & we’ll be glad to post it on the website & promote it via adding your city to the global protests list on @Candles4Assange, #Unity4J, and @action_4assange.

We hope to share/post as many photos as possible of ANY actions. Please email directly to admin@bayaction2freeassange.org OR tag @JeaniRN on Twitter noting BayAction2FreeAssange.

MANY WAYS TO ACT IN SUPPORT to be a part of helping free Julian Assange:

  • You can find fliers on our resources page and SomersetBean.com has some brilliant graphic informational fliers you can download or print directly to share with people.
  • #YellowRibbons4Assange is a vital campaign that Christine Assange & @TRUMANHUMAN2020 started in May, 2020.� It is� an ongoing, easy, and meaningful action to take anywhere. It spreads the awareness of Julian’s plight.� � It has started many conversations at our home’s gate & at events to promote accurate information in conversation. You can learn more here.
  • #Clovers4Assange by Anons / @YourMarkLubbers. Add a clover to your Twitter & elsewhere to promote awareness for Julian.

 

DONATIONS:

Julian’s partner & mother of their two children, @Stellamoris1, has started a fundraiser for legal fees. No contribution is too small.

As Stella has expressed the importance of educating the public on Julian’s case, as has his mother, @MrsC_Assange, noting how important it is to reach outside our immediate bubble. Many people don’t know about Julian’s case due to media blackout. Or they may only know the smears promoted by mainstream media worldwide. It is up to each of us to spread the truth to save his life.

Rise in Power: Recognizing Resistance from San Quentin to Attica and Back Again @ San Quentin State Prison
Tickets
Sep 13 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Our comrades at C.C.W.P. and No Justice Under Capitalism will hold a vigil and demonstration on the 49th anniversary of the brutal suppression of the Attica Prison Uprising

Across the country, across decades and circumstances, the struggle against abhorrent, inhumane conditions lives on today.

Here in California, the COVID-19 pandemic has hit our incarcerated brothers, sisters, and siblings mercilessly, due to the extreme and criminal negligence of Governor Newsom and the CDCR. The state continues to ruthlessly disregard Black, Brown, Indigenous, and incarcerated lives and must be brought to account.

Come out in solidarity to demand mass release and rehousing NOW!

What: Rise in Power: Recognizing Resistance from San Quentin to Attica and Back Again (1971-2020)

* Please note that electric candles will be provided.

Read coalition demands here and tap in this evening (9/8) at 5 PM PDT for a panel discussion on the Attica Uprising’s legacy and its lessons

UC Berkeley Cops off Campus Rally @ MLK Park
Tickets
Oct 1 @ 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm
sm_october_1_poster_final.jpg Join us on October 1st for the kick-off rally for a statewide campaign demanding the total abolition of the University of California Police Department (UCPD). This is a coordinated day of action which will occur on all ten UC campuses.

Tens of thousands of UC students and staff come from Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Muslim, immigrant communities that are constantly overpoliced through harassment and baseless arrest. The removal of UCPD and ICE from campus is not the endpoint, but the condition of possibility for imagining safety over security. Nearly all full-time UCPD employees make more than $100,000 per year—in the midst of public austerity measures, we demand the $24 million UCPD budget be transferred to the wellness programs and equity initiatives we desperately require.

The Cops Off Campus coalition has emerged amidst a global pandemic, relentless state and vigilante violence and national calls for the abolition of police, prisons, and the carceral state. The movement to abolish UCPD by Fall 2021 is led by BIPOC community members, undergraduates, graduates and other workers across UC and CSU campuses. Our goal is an end to all policing, beginning with questioning the University of California’s role in the militarized surveillance of higher education and beyond.

Community Guidelines—
Do not speak to UCPD, City of Berkeley police, or university administrators.
Follow all COVID-19 safety protocols: masks on, socially distance outside of your social bubble, stay home if you’ve had any flu-like symptoms in the last 14 days.
Bring pots, pans, noisemakers.
Bay Area National Lawyers Guild #: 415 285 5067

protest_mcconnell_death.jpg San Francisco Protest Against McConnell-led Senate w/ Bay Area Poor People’s Campaign

HOST: Bay Area Steering Committee of CA Poor People’s Campaign

WHAT: Bay Area Car Caravan or On-Foot Socially Distanced Protest to Stop the Senate’s Sins

WHERE: San Francisco (exact address to be announced–RSVP)

RSVP to join the car caravan here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/california-poor-peoples-campaign-bay-area-car-caravan-to-end-the-senates-sins

FACEBOOK POST: https://www.facebook.com/events/747404996115817/
______________________________________________________________

During the COVID-19 pandemic which is the greatest public health crisis in a century, the Mitch McConnell-led US Senate has refused to take up a full and comprehensive relief package to aid struggling Americans. What’s more, McConnell is now hypocritically rushing through a Supreme Court nominee to fill the seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

We protest against the meanness, misery and mayhem of Mitch McMconnell and his Senate enablers, who have acted immorally by:

Stacking the Supreme Court, Suppressing the Vote, Sabotaging the USPS,
Stopping the Stimulus, Stealing Healthcare, Stifling Living Wages, Separating Families,
and their infection from the virus of greed, lust for power, and racism

Can you join us for a car caravan in San Francisco to demand a full and just relief package, a stop to the cynical hypocrisy of stacking the Supreme Court a few weeks from the election, and justice for Breonna Taylor?

Even if you don’t have a car, you’re still welcome to attend — we’ll have a contingent on the ground in front of a Senate office that you can join.

This action is part of a nationwide car caravan protest. The Poor People’s Campaign car caravans will be happening simultaneously in dozens of towns and cities across the country. By speaking out as one, we will send a message that our leaders cannot ignore.

Forward together — not one step back!

Trash this Policy! @ Oscar Grant Plaza Amphitheater
Tickets
Oct 10 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
The United Front Against Displacement is calling for a protest against the city of Oakland’s encampment management policy.
The policy creates no new housing opportunities for homeless Oaklanders and only further propagates their criminalization and displacement. The city has done next to nothing to address the various sanitation issues that people have experienced long before the start of the pandemic. This policy only seeks to exasperate the dire conditions homeless people are experiencing on a daily basis.
We Demand
*An end to current encampment sweeps, deep cleanings, and closures without providing free longterm housing.
*Cancel all back rent and civil debt.
*An end to criminalization and police brutality.
*Adequate sanitation services for all.

NO COAL in Richmond Protest @ 450 Civic Center Plaza
Tickets
Oct 13 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

=>  NO COAL ON THE RICHMOND CITY COUNCIL!

The Levin-Richmond Terminal has joined developers, several local building trades unions, and the Richmond police union in trying to buy seats on the Richmond City Council.

Levin has donated $25,000 to candidates opposing the Richmond Progressive Alliance candidates endorsed by No Coal in Richmond partners Asian Pacific Environmental Network, Communities for A Better Environment, Sierra Club, and Sunflower Alliance. The terminal is hoping that the new council will overturn the hardwon legislation phasing out coal and petcoke operations at the terminal, which the council adopted after a successful 2-year campaign by No Coal in Richmond and currently in litigation.

 
WHERE: Levin Richmond Terminal, S. 4th St. and Wright Ave., one block south of Cutting Blvd. (Harbour Way S. Exit from I-580 West).
Meet at the Burger King on the south side of Cutting Blvd. at Hoffman Blvd.

City Hall Plaza
