#TheTown Sits OUT the Curfew

Family, JOIN US Wednesday night 6/3 at 8:05 pm
We, The People of Oakland, and our allies and accomplices around the bay, DISSENT to the steadily encroaching FASCISM of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department’s 8pm curfew order!!!
We’ll be sitting down in the intersection of 14th and Broadway to say an unequivocal “F***k your curfew!”
Everywhere we turn there are reminders to fight for each other’s freedom. Today, 6/2, is Miles Hall’s Angelversary ( https://www.facebook.com/events/538186717063894/ ). We defy the sheriff’s orders in honor and memory of him, as well as Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, Steven Taylor, and countless others murdered by so-called civil servants.
The CURFEWS here and nationwide are RACIST policing measures that serve the militant suppression of The People. These measures are in clear, direct response to us rising up in defense of Black Lives. We won’t submit to Trump’s “Law and Order State”.
On Monday, June 1st, young organizers from Oakland Tech led a George Floyd Solidarity March that was multigenerational, peaceful, and 15,000 STRONG
On Monday, June 1st, at 7:57 pm, OPD threw flashbang grenades and teargas into the gathered crowd and proceeded in making 100+ arrests into the night — rounding up protesters and non-protesters alike, including many of our unhoused neighbors and essential workers
Again, WE DISSENT

We need copwatchers and witnesses to come to Seabreeze cafe 7a this Tues 10/13 and possible dates after to film any evictions and arrests. pic.twitter.com/JgOaKvxyhH

When Black families are under attack – what do we do?
ACT UP FIGHT BACK!
Join us on Monday, Nov 3 @ 10:30 AM @ 3359 Brookdale Ave to stand with our friend Fred, his wife, & 3 young children who are facing eviction – in the middle of a pandemic – due to a predatory foreclosure.

The family, members of @CalOrganize and the Black Housing Union, will host a press conference outside their home to send a strong message to the landlord that they will not be leaving their home and to let all other tenants at risk of eviction that ACCE has their back. BE THERE!

As we approach the November election, the multiracial working class is facing multiple crises: dangerous school reopenings, no pandemic relief, continued police violence and repression, climate change crashing down upon us, and a potentially chaotic General Election looming before us.
But we know that collective action in the streets is still the best antidote to the anger and fear we face daily. As democratic socialists, we must be a visible and committed force fighting for democracy and building a mass movement of the working class.
That means — whatever the status of the election — we need to be ready to mobilize on November 4th. Join East Bay DSA and coalition partners from across the Bay Area as we rally to demand that every vote is counted, and to begin organizing to grow DSA and our movement in the coming months. We’ll convene at Oscar Grant Plaza starting at noon for a mass rally and day of action. RSVP below!
| Meet: Cable Car turnout, Powell and Market Streets, then march to the Westfield Shopping Complex | |

It’s that time of year again! The 7th Annual Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy Weekend will take place January 15th-18th 2020.
This year’s theme is Re-Imagine. Reimagine and remember King’s unrealized dream.
Oaklanders have a dream:
We dream of a total transformation of how Oakland defines and implements public safety.
We dream of REfunding our communities with 50% of OPD’s dollars to create true public safety.
We dream of housing our unhoused.
We dream of being able to afford our rent.
We dream of an equitable and competent response to our most COVID-19 impacted communities.
We dream of communities that are not terrorized and traumatized by gun violence.
We dream of a 100% progressive city government that reflects the values that are the heart and soul of Oakland.
We are making our dream the collective lived reality of our City.
We are asking organizations to organize events over the weekend on January 15, 16, or 17. But please reserve Monday, January 18, MLK Day itself, for the 7th Annual Day of Action to Reclaim MLK’s Radical Legacy — Car Caravan: https://www.facebook.com/events/446637456326892
Events should be virtual or absolutely ensure safe social distancing and adherence to COVID-19 precautions. We will post events here as we learn of them.
See you online and in the streets!
