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!
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!

Stopping Line 3 is critical.
In solidarity with Water Protectors on the frontlines on Anishinaabe lands in Minnesota, we are racing against Enbridge’s next big financial deadline, On March 31st, 18 banks have a $2.2 billion loan to Enbridge due for renewal. The 18 major banks involved in that loan have to make a decision whether to continue to support Line 3 or walk away from Enbridge and its toxic, colonial pipeline. You can help to send them a message: Stop Funding Filthy Fossil Fuels.
If enough of us take these actions together, we can make the companies funding Line 3 feel enough pressure that they will walk away from this toxic tar sands pipeline.
Email Bank CEOs on Feb. 19
Your email will go directly to the inboxes of the CEOs at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, CitiBank and the fifteen other banks funding Line 3. There’s no time to waste, we need these CEOs to get the thousands of emails on Friday, February 19 — will you take the time to click to #StopLine3?
