A few weeks after Vallejo PD shot 55 rounds at Willie McCoy, his niece was pulled over by VPD, dragged out of the car, tased & arrested, by 2 of the cops who murdered Willie. There were no charges filed against her. On 2/9 we gather to remember Willie & renew calls for justice. pic.twitter.com/U8O5uaazEa

If you’re interested in getting involved in our family support work, we have a training opportunity with our first responders committee who work directly with impacted families day in and day out.
This training draws on over 10 years of experience of investigating incidents of police terror and providing support to impacted families. We’ll give an overview of APTP’s history, organizing, and trauma-informed family support model. We’ll discuss typical challenges faced by families as well as the needs we seek to address.
All are welcomed to stand with Mothers On The March and People from the Community.
We stand with signs and banners and chalk the sidewalk, bringing attention to the crimes of the SFPD.
Our Demands:
-The Police Officers Association be SHUT DOWN!
-The SF POA Be Declared a Non-Grata Organization
-Abolish the ‘Officers Bill of Rights’ – This has been used to protect officers in abusing our communities!
-Jail Killer Cops – we demand killer cops be charged and convicted with murder
-Abolish the Police!

For rallies around the nation, see: https://rageagainstwar.com/rallies/
WHAT: Rage Against the War Machine march and rally
WHEN: Sunday, February 19, 12:00 noon
WHERE: Embarcadero Plaza, SF
WHO: You, your friends, your family
WHY: Stop outrageously excessive military spending. Shift money and energy toward constructing a better world https://rageagainstwar.com/#Demands
Please REPLY to: acgreens2012@gmail.com if you might be there! See the MEET AT BART paragraph below about how we can meet up and go to SF together.
- People often ask: Do rallies and marches do any good? I believe that people standing together for what we want is always worthwhile, and besides, it’s a good way to see people we know, almost like having a party and not having to prepare in advance or clean up after. Also, it’s open air which is great these days.
The rally in Washington, DC has an amazing lineup of speakers https://rageagainstwar.com/#Speakers from across the political spectrum. While there are many topics various groups may disagree on, we are united in being for peace and against war and military spending.
MEET AT BART
With gratitude for this procedure to Steve and Beth and others from LMNOP, Lake Merritt Neighbors Organized for Peace, here’s how we can meet up and go to the rally together: meet at the MacArthur BART station at 11:15am to go thru the gate promptly at 11:30. We will sit in the last car so that if you get on at a different station you may still be able to hook up with us because you’ll know where to find us. RSVP if you might be there! Be seen being GREEN!
Rage Against the War Machine
The 2/19 SF sister event is organized by Cynthia Papermaster & Golden Gate Code Pink.

Help build the March 21 national day of action demanding that banks stop funding climate disaster. Third Act and others have called this event to highlight the Banking on Our Future campaign: a national effort to pressure the Big 4 Banks—Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, and Wells Fargo—to stop financing the climate crisis.
Participants pledge that they will close their accounts and credit cards with these banks if they don’t shift to clean, renewable investments.
Wells Fargo, headquartered here, is one of the biggest fossil fuel investors worldwide. Join weekly actions at Bay Area Wells Fargo bank branches to educate customers about this campaign and build momentum for the March 21 day of action.
WHEN
Every Friday until March 21

Just days after kneeling for Tyre Nichols, SF DA Brooke Jenkins announced that she will drop the historic charges against SFPD officer Chris Samayoa in the murder of Keita “Icky” O’Neil.

ICYMI: The judge in Wednesday's hearing delayed the DA's dismissal of charges. In other words, she's giving Attorney General Rob Bonta one week to take up the case since DA Jenkins doesn't want to.

This week Zionist settler mobs protected by Israeli Occupation Forces stormed the occupied village of Huwara, surrounded it and attempted to burn it to the ground. Israeli human rights group @btselem and many others have called the settler attacks a “pogrom” to describe the attacks on the village. Pogrom is a Russian word meaning “to wreak havoc” and typically describes the violence by Russians against Jewish people, particularly officially-mandated slaughter.
Many are blaming the new Israeli government as the cause of the unimaginable violence Palestinians, but the origin of these atrocities is not the Israeli government but Zionism. This isn’t a “loss of control” this is exactly what Israeli control looks like. The settlers carry out the attack, the military secures it, the politicians back it. It’s a synergy.

What are the concerns?
Biometrics and AI are widely used and there are many questions about their ethically and socially appropriate uses.
Questions addressed include:
- How do they work?
- How are they being used?
- What are the dangers of their use?
- What are appropriate, even good uses?
- What is the Context, and what are the challenges?
We had a STRONG weekend kicking fash out of spaces they don’t belong
They got their shit rocked at the Capitol
They never got near or did anything during drag queen story time
And now it’s time to show them hate deserves no platform in Davis!! (Tmmr March 14th) @UCDavis_COC pic.twitter.com/9TK8nHl1EP
