Calendar
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.

“If you’ve been waiting to turn up for that one protest action for the unhoused, this’ll be it! We need numbers, folks, as we want the city of Berkeley to here our outlay at their unjust actions! See you there.”
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.

Queers for a Free Palestine meet up and march! All are welcome! Call out state senator Scott Wiener, who has been attacking Palestinian activists at UC and CSU campuses, opposes inclusion of Palestine in ethnic studies, introduced oppressive legislation to silence the voice of the Palestinian people and their comrades, and attacking houseless people. He opposed the cease fire back in January. Mask up, bring friends. Let’s San Francisco now that you oppose SF politicians who have not called out an end to the genocide in Gaza! And an end to the apartheid government of Israel!
It’s almost election day! But our work doesn’t end with voting. EFF organizers José and Chris will facilitate a workshop on how local advocates can put together a plan for getting the attention of newly elected officials, and engaging them on Digital Rights issues. Participants are encouraged to bring questions and personal experiences for discussion.

On November 2, just days before the U.S. Presidential election, people will take to the streets across the entire country to say NO VOTES FOR GENOCIDE!
We’ve been mobilizing every single day for over a year demanding an end to the U.S.-funded and supported Israeli genocide in Palestine and Lebanon. This election cycle, we will not forget these candidates’ direct support for this genocide.
The US government has the ability to enact an arms embargo, it has the ability to stop this genocide. This is a US war as much as it is an Israeli war on Palestine and Lebanon. We won’t be fooled by arbitrary 30-day deadlines and we will not be tricked into believing the political rhetoric of those who could have stopped the genocide with a single phone call to end military aid to Israel.
The Coastal Commission is meeting on Friday, November 15 in San Francisco to discuss the violations and unpermitted work by a Texas oil company, Sable Offshore Corp., which is charging ahead with dangerous plans to restart an old, corroded oil pipeline that ruptured off the Santa Barbara coast in 2015. Restarting the pipeline would be a disaster for coastal communities and our climate: it would allow Sable to bring three offshore oil platforms back online that have been shuttered for nearly ten years.
We’ll be rallying at the Coastal Commission meeting and then giving public comment to encourage the commission to stand strong and require Sable to play by the rules. We need to ensure that this disastrous pipeline will never have a second chance to spill!
Will you join us in San Francisco and help bring a few friends and allies, too? Sign up here.
What: Rally and Press Conference Opposing Restart of Dangerous Oil Pipeline in Santa Barbara, followed by public comment.
When: Friday, November 15 at 8am before the California Coastal Commission Meeting
Where: Hyatt Regency San Francisco, 5 Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, CA 94111
Who: Center for Biological Diversity, Last Chance Alliance, Extinction Rebellion SF Bay, Oil and Gas Action Network, Fearless Grandmothers, 1000 Grandmothers, Sunflower Alliance, CalPIRG, UC Santa Barbara Environmental Affairs Board and more!
If you want to make public comment, you’ll need to sign up on this form (for General Public Comment) before 5pm on Thursday.
Thanks so much for showing up at this very critical time. Together let’s send a strong message that drill baby drill will get no traction here.

UNITE To STOP The Fascist HB 9495 NOW Rally At Democratic Senator Alex Padilla’s Office Friday December 6, 2024 12 noon 333 Bush St. San Francisco Trump and the Republican party with the support of some Democrats in the House have passed HB 9495. This fascist bill titled Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act would allow the secretary of the Treasurer to unilaterally without out any process take away non-profit status of an organization that the Secretary determines to support “terrorism”.
This means that organizations like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, The Lawyers Guild, Greenpeace, immigrant righst organization and organizations supporting the Palestinian people could immediately be put out of business financially by the Trump appointed Treasury Secretary.
This also could include unions that for example are opposed to sending arms to Israel and in favor of a ceasefire. Unions such as the UAW, SEIU, NEA, APWU have taken positions that Trump and his fascist supporters would like to crush and this bill would give them the power to do it when he takes power. The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act — would allow the Treasury Department unilateral authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit it designates as a “terrorist supporting organization.”
Rally and march for People's Park liberation on Saturday, December 14 at 1:300pm at the Dwight Triangle aka Chuck Herrick Peace and Freedom Memorial Park. More info soon. pic.twitter.com/Ok24a05mAl

Companies like United Healthcare, Humana, Emblem, Aetna and the healthcare industry are driven by how to make more profit by privatizing Medicare and taking more profits from patients to put in their pockets.
United Healthcare like other profiteers is also now using AI to Deny, Delay and Depose so their profits will skyrocket and further harm and kill people who need healthcare.
The recent strike of Unite Here Local 2 hotel workers only ended when the union threatened to have mass pickets at their convention if they didn’t sign a contract.
They are fearful that that American people are waking up and fed up with their scams to rip off healthcare from the people of this country.
A key issue in the hotel strike was the effort to take away their union health plan, so insurance companies can get away with more deductibles and denials for Lo-cal 2 members.
The only way to stop this madness is to take the healthcare industry away from the capitalists and for public worker control of the healthcare system. This will not happen with the Democrats who like the Republicans are controlled by the same billionaires and profiteers.
We need a labor party that has as its program the nationalization of the entire healthcare industry under control of the healthcare workers and health industry workers instead of these capitalists who put profits over lives.
Join us at the rally & tell your story about how these companies are denying helping
to kill people who need healthcare Initiated by: United Front Committee for A Labor Party
