In our case, to the buses! In SF, we will be having a rally and speak out starting at 12pm at 24th and Mission Sts. At 1pm, we will split into groups and get on buses, BART and through the neighborhood in order to inform our community about the real legacy of MLK and why his struggle is still so important today.
Please read the ANSWER Coalition’s “Call to Action” below for our orientation towards the commemoration of Dr. MLK:
The political establishment, from the White House to City Halls everywhere, will evoke Dr. Martin Luther King’s heroism and his “I Have a Dream Speech” as a way of legitimizing the tradition of dissent in U.S. history. Yet for the millions who have taken to the streets in reaction to the growing national movement against racist police terror, the words and legacy of Dr. King carry a different meaning. Having his life threatened by the FBI and finally being assassinated by the most reactionary elements in the United States, Dr. King was known in his later years as a staunch critic of the U.S. economic and political system that forced upon the Black nation poverty and violence, yet preached “liberty” and “democracy” abroad. Dr. King said, “I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin — we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
Today, after the killings of Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, Rumain Brisbon, Ezell Ford and so many more – all racist police killings of unarmed Black men who have received no justice by the same system Dr. King condemned years ago – the growing movement against racism and police terror can reclaim the radical tradition of one of the key figures of the civil rights movement.
Across the country, the ANSWER Coalition and scores of other national and local organizations are taking part in speak-outs, actions on public transportation, contingents in parades and more demanding “Stop the War on Black America” and “Stop Racist Police Terror.”

March on the MLK Day weekend to demand:
- Jail Darren Wilson
- Reject the Grand Jury Decision!
- Drop Charges Against All Protesters!
- Create More Jobs and Educational Opportunities!
- Down with the New Jim Crow
- Down with the Police State!
The coming of winter has not cooled the anger of the black community of Ferguson, Missouri–it has only fanned the flames of the demand for justice that is spreading throughout the nation.
Like Ferguson, East Oakland, CA is a community with a strong history of fighting for justice against racist police attacks as well as for the rights and dignity of undocumented immigrant communities. Our movement is strongest when we are taking mass, militant, direct action in the streets.
March on the MLK Day weekend to demand: Jail Darren Wilson and Reject the Grand Jury Decision! Jail the Killer Cops! Drop Charges Against All Protesters! Stop racist attacks by police and ICE on black, Latina/o and other minority communities! No more second-class treatment and no more deportations! Create More Jobs and Educational Opportunities! Down with the New Jim Crow–Down with the Police State!
All supporters are welcome. Bring signs, banners, and be ready to make lots of noise. Our voices will be heard!

#MLKshutitdown Bay Love at N. Oakland Farmers Market.
No other information available.
This action is being held by WAS – Workers Against the System; an affinity group of Anti-Police Terrorism Spokescouncil as part of the weekend reclamation of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy weekend.
Join us in our action to interrupt business as usual at the Oakland Walmart. We will raise awareness of John Crawford’s murder that happened August 5, 2014 inside of a southern Ohio Walmart store.
We stand in solidarity and remembrance with his family against the injustice the system has served them; by murdering their son and not indicting the officers involved in the shooting.
Wal-Mart is notoriously known for underpaying it’s workers; and in the Bay Area, employing managers that are publicly racist. Wal-Mart also facilitated the murder of John Crawford. We need to remind them that BLACK LIVES MATTER!
More information on Facebook page.
The Domain Awareness Center was constrained last year to the Port of Oakland, and not allowed to come online until a privacy policy was put in place.
The privacy policy has been written, and will come before the City Council beginning on February 10th.
The Privacy Policy Committee and the Oakland Privacy Working Group have been working hard to make sure the privacy policy is very strong and it has become a national model. Now support is needed so that it won’t be watered down by the Council!
The Privacy Policy Committee will also recommend to the City Council that the Privacy Policy for the DAC be extended to Oakland (currently Oakland has no privacy policy), and also that the City Council adopt an “open” surveillance equipment acquisition ordinance.
Come learn more about all of this and how you can help keep privacy alive in Oakland.
Reference: The DAC FAQ
The first portion of the CrytoParty will be the DAC Workshop:
Stop the Spy Center from Encroaching Into Oakland – A Workshop on the DAC, its Privacy Policy and Surveillance Equipment
which begins at 2:00 PM. The usual cryptoparty will begin at 3:30 PM.
Join us for dinner ,outdoor entertainment and a sleep-in.
Everyone deserves a #Right2Rest.
Description (Drama 1984) Directed by Spike Lee – a community responds to the killing of a black man
Greetings citizens of the world, we are Anonymous.
FUCK THE POLICE: Time to take our pigs for a walk. They need the exercise. And it only costs the city $50K a week!
*** This event is being called by the Oakland Fuck the police committee.The Fuck the police Committee was approved by Oakland to perform autonomous actions at their discretion.
IMPORTANT NOTE All folks are welcome, this is a peaceful protest — whatever that means.
FTP March, Iteration 3.0 Jan,18, 2015 – Fuck the police Parameters
Due to the fact that most of our internal issues on each march and action to date have come from a lack of information on what the tactical parameters of a particular action are expected to be, FTPC will be calling for tactical parameters on this and all future FTP marches that may change as we learn and practice our skills in the streets.
Note that these are the wishes by the callers of the march. In the interests of solidarity please respect these parameters. These are being called for this march only. This goes both ways — please be respectful enough of the event to not pursue certain actions at this time if they are being put on the “please don’t” list; likewise, if you are uncomfortable with someone performing an action that is acceptable within the march parameters DO NOT INTERFERE with them. This is respect for diversity of tactics, and also proper solidarity in the face of our common enemy. There will come a day that this practice, discipline and restraint will serve us well as a unit.
If you cannot follow the parameters DO NOT ATTEND. They will be read before the march during the rally. People will be given the opportunity to back out if they feel they cannot respect the tactics, with no loss of face.
On
Sunday, January 18, the run-up to the historicMarch for Real Climate Leadership begins with an Oakland forum on “Organizing at the Crossroads: What Real Climate Leadership Looks Like,” one of seven forums to be held throughout the state on the community impacts of the gas and oil industry.
California is standing at the crossroads between deadly fossil fuel-dependency and the promise of an emerging social and economic renewal. And only an equitable, green energy transition rooted in environmental justice can take us there.
Come hear an inspiring panel of real climate leaders who are unafraid to face this challenge head on: newly elected Assemblyperson Tony Thurmond of AD 15 and Richmond City Councilperson Eduardo Martinez; Mary Lim Lampe of Genesis and Gamaliel; a representative of the California Nurses Association; community organizers Andrés Soto of Communities for a Better Environment, Margaret Gordon of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, and Juan Flores of the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment. Pennie Opal Plant offers the opening invocation. Forum MC is New Yorkers Against Fracking co-founder and Californians Against Fracking organizer, David Braun. Other speakers TBA.
The evening panel discussion will showcase how everyday Californians are in the fight of our lives against all aspects of the fossil fuel economy including extraction, infrastructure and transport, and our resistance to the industry’s assault on sustainable businesses and innovation. We’ll be exploring the intersections between our movements and aligning our energies behind one common goal: a truly clean energy future where our children are not poisoned for toxic profits.
Hosted by Californians Against Fracking, California Nurses Association, Sunflower Alliance, 350Bay Area, 350.org, Sierra Club, and others.
What: An inspiring organizing meeting to get ready for the March for Real Climate Leadership
Why: To meet local activists near you, learn about the local organizing that’s happening in the Bay, and build momentum towards the March for Real Climate Leadership
Next month’s march is one of our best chances to demand real action to combat the climate crisis here in California — and the next step towards making Oakland part of that is coming to the community organizing meeting on Sunday.
We have an amazing chance to build on the momentum from 2014, from over 4,000 people rallying in the state capitol to demand a ban on fracking, to historic mobilizations across the country for the People’s Climate March, to New York banning fracking in December. Let’s make the March for Real Climate Leadership the first of 2015’s big movement moments.
These organizing meetings will deepen our local networks and create new connections — because real climate leadership isn’t just about banning fracking (though that’s a big part of it). We will talk about the march itself, as well as: organizing and recruitment, how to be a bus captain and bring dozens of people from your community to the march, and ways to create art to make the day transformative.

Let’s make this amazing,
#MLKshutitdown Unspecified Action @ West Oakland BART
“Equality demands dignity. And dignity demands a job and a paycheck that lasts through the week.”
“When you have mass unemployment in the Negro community it’s called a social problem. When you have mass unemployment in the white community it’s called a depression”
“We refuse to believe the bank of justice is bankrupt”
— Martin Luther King, Jr—–
Join the Anti Police-Terrorism Project (APTP) for a MLK day march that reclaims the spirit of King and celebrates his legacy of resistance!
There will be performances, speakers, resource booths, face painting, crafts and more!
This is a family-friendly event and a celebration of King’s legacy, Black Lives and the struggle for social justice.
We will gather at the plaza outside of Oscar Grant Station (Fruitvale) at 11 AM. There will be performances, speakers, resource booths, face painting, crafts and more! From there we will march to Coliseum City connecting the dots between police terrorism and economic terrorism – meaning the unjust ways that cops kill unarmed Black people as with Oscar Grant and the unjust way Oakland’s development is either pushing Black and Brown people out of the city and/or not hiring Black and Brown Oakland residents to facilitate or benefit from the new development as with the Coliseum City project.
Stay Tuned for More Details!!!
The APTP is a group of concerned institutions, organizations and individuals committed to ending the state sanctioned murder of Black, Brown & Poor people by police departments across the country.
#BlackLivesMatter. Join us as we discuss the national epidemic of police brutality, misconduct and associasted laws and legal procedures, as well as your rights when facing law enforcement and the state of our modern civil rights movement.
Panelists: John Burris, Adante Pointer, Paul Henderson, Cephus Johnson
Performance: Prentice Powell, spoken word artist.
CANCELLED
For this week. Back next Monday.
