An ordinance to prohibit discrimination against renters with rental assistance (e.g., Section 8 Vouchers) is on the agenda at a Special Meeting of Oakland City Council at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, July 9. It appears as item 7.38 on the Consent Calendar so it should come up relatively soon in the meeting. They take all speakers for consent calendar at once; speakers should indicate which item they are addressing.

If we can get some residents to tell personal stories (their own or a friend or family member) of waiting forever to get Section 8 and then not being able to use a voucher because no landlord would take it, that would be great. Contact dolores@ebho.org if you would like to speak.

Do No Harm Coalition and Anti Police-Terror Project have called this gathering to report back the data from our three year community commissioned project The Justice Study—an investigation into the health impacts of law enforcement violence. We seek community feedback on the analysis and strategy on releasing the data prior to any publication in the medical and public health literature or in the media.

For this gathering, we wish to continue our dialogue with and extend our service to those most impacted by police – particularly those who are black, brown, indigenous, trans, and poor. While all are welcome, we will centralize the concerns of these people.

DNHC was commissioned by the community fighting for justice for Mario Woods to create a research study that asked the question “If a police killing is the wound and the medicine is justice, what happens to our community health when the medicine is withheld?”

The research team from UCSF and Santa Clara University developed The Justice Study with community direction and has been engaged in a 3 year process. The scope of the study investigates all law enforcement violence—from police to ICE to FBI—and research tools are available in English and Spanish.

We seek input and guidance as we take our next steps to make this research as impactful as possible. We are grateful to have Red Bay Coffee Roasters hosting us and jazz bassist Marcus Shelby present to offer musical accompaniment to our work together.

The Gig Economy, AI, Robotics, Workers and Dystopia San Francisco
Initial Speakers:
Steven Hill, writer and journalist on the Gig Economy.
Author of Raw Deal: How the “Uber Economy” and Runaway Capitalism are Screwing American Workers.
Edward Escobar, founder of the Alliance for Independent Workers – #DriversUnite International Movement. UBER/LYFT/Black Car Driver
Mehmet Bayram is a tech worker and is with the International Labor MediaNetwork.

Sponsored by LaborNet and WorkWeek Radio

San Francisco is now a world center of tech, yet the workers, whether UBER-Lyft drivers or a growing number of gig workers, are under extreme stress and face nightmare conditions with no worker or union rights. The growing number of suicides is a reaction to this dire state.

While San Francisco has more billionaires per person than any city in the world, there are thousands of homeless, escalating evictions of tenants, and a massive gridlock with growing environmental issues. Has capitalism gone wild and is this the permanent dystopian world or can working people and our unions transform this city and society? These are some of the questions that will be addressed at this event.

The Interfaith Council of Alameda County is hosting a regional meeting focusing on housing, homeless solutions and best practices.  Refreshments will be served.

The meeting is co-sponsored by City of Berkeley Councilmember Cheryl Davila, City of Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, City of Oakland Council President Rebecca Kaplan, Alameda County Board of Supervisors President Wilma Chan, supervisors Keith Carson and Nate Miley, the Interfaith Council of Alameda County (ICAC) and Project WeHOPE.

With ICE operations underway, increased arrests happening now, and raids reported to start Sunday, rally is being called for TODAY (Thursday).

Trump is threatening our immigrant loved ones and neighbors with mass raids and deportations. We’re standing up against his racist and repressive attacks. Raids tear apart families and cast a shadow on whole communities, making it difficult to go to work, school or live free from fear. Let’s stand together – and respond with power, not panic. Watch this event page and text RESIST to 41411 for updates.

Share your local rapid response hotline number (bit.ly/CAhotlines and below). If you see ICE activity, call the hotline. Make sure reports are verified before you spread rumors or panic.

Reproductive rights are being challenged and degraded. What are our rights to abortion access here in California? These are real issues we need to talk about. We’ll screen documentary NO CHOICE, personal testimonies from women of color and have a panel of experts who can speak on the issues.

Includes performance by vocalist Indigo Mateo!

Free event.
Light snacks.

Wheelchair accessible.

Community Works News

Notorious local slumlord and Trump supporter Gene Gorelik is rallying support to “save Home Depot” and bully the curbside community at E.8th Street and Alameda Ave. (adjacent to Home Depot Oakland) on Friday, July 12, 8 AM. He has started a gofundme campaign (https://www.gofundme.com/f/operation-save-home-depot), FB event page (https://www.facebook.com/events/2084439161860295/) and is running ads against the curbside community.

We are asking the community to stand together to protect our curbside communities against hate, xenophobia and anti-homeless behavior.

We stand against the new Oakland xenophobia that is against Black & Brown people. We stand against putting a multi-million dollar corporation over the well-being of unhoused Oakland residents. Instead of working to mitigate and improve any issues between Home Depot and the curbside community, Mayor Schaaf, Councilmember Noel Gallo and supporters like Gene Gorelik, want to evict the curbside community with no where to go, providing no adequate housing.

SHOW UP IN SUPPORT, SOLIDARITY, UNITY:
** Show up to rally, chant and counter-protest this Friday, July 12. Show up starting at 7:30-8 AM. Gene’s protest starts at 8 AM.
** Park/meet inside private parking lot on E.8th Street and Alameda Ave (curbside community surrounds the lot). Look for driveway entrance on Alameda Ave. near corner of E.8th St.

>>BRING coffee, tea, water, breakfast items to share with all
>>BRING bullhorns, noise makers, portable speakers with mics
>>BE ready to stand with curbside community residents and support their wishes and needs morning/day of

>>BRING posters using the following slogans:
#DefendtheDisplaced
#CurbsideCommunitiesHaveRightsToo
#HelpUsDontHarmUs
#HousingAndDignityForAll
#UpgradeDontEvict
#SanctuaryCityForAll

Responding to the call for a week of action against ICE from July 8th to 12th, we choose to rally outside their SF office.
WHAT DO WE WANT? The camps closed, the families reunited, and immigrants left alone!

On July 12, activist organizations, migrant rights groups, and community members will mobilize at Palantir’s HQ in Palo Alto at 4:30 PM. Palantir’s contracts w/ ICE make our mass detention of migrants in concentration camps possible. We demand justice NOW! #CloseTheCamps #AbolishICE #LetThemAllIn

Join us to kick off the national day of action to close the migrant and refugee concentration camps in the United States.

WE HOPE TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO OUR ON GOING CAMPAIGNS IN THE BAY ARE here is a link to the bay area action for julien which includes CHELSEA SUPPORT PLEASE SIGN UP
https://bayaction2freeassange.org

Ok, folks, here’s the deal: the Main stream media (MSM) is so full of lies, it’s got the masses confused!!  There’s only a few places we can get the truth.

Chelsea and Julian, were two of the most important WHISTLE BLOWERS to tell the truth about USA’s illegal, immoral WARS. That’s why our “US leadership” wants them dead. USA is the largest TERRORIST country in history, killing, wounding, and forcing immigration on millions of folks all over the world!!

To us, saving Chelsea and Julian is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! They told us the truth about the wars! And all the NEW MACARTHYISM.  is due to blaming Julian for being a puppet of Russia.  So much of all our issues stem from the honesty of Chelsea and Julian!! That’s why our govt. wants to kill them!

Please join us Fridays at our vigil/demo/music/potluck  at MacArthur and Fruitvale, and if you know other organizations around the state and the country, contact them and encourage them to organize to protect Chelsea and Julian as well!! We have some pretty good posters, but also bring your own. Thanks. gg and Orion

Our Mission: FREEDOM.
Lights for Liberty: https://www.lightsforliberty.org/

We are a coalition of people, many of whom are mothers, dedicated to human rights, and the fundamental principle behind democracy that all human beings have a right to life, liberty and dignity.

We are partnering with national, regional and local communities and organizations who believe that these fundamental rights are not negotiable and are willing to protect them.

On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, will bring thousands of Americans to detention camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees.

Meeting in San Francisco’s Market Street at the Powell St. Cable Turnaround, San Francisco can join other cities across the country in this effort.

“GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE.” – Inscription on the Statue of Liberty

Check event page for more and updated details.

On July 12, 2019, thousands of people across the country will pour into the streets and into their own front yards to protest the inhumane conditions faced by migrants, all as part of Lights for Liberty: A Nationwide Vigil to End Human Detention Camps.

Indivisible East Bay is proud to join the wide coalition of groups presenting Lights for Liberty events! We will co-host an event on the evening of Friday July 12 with Together We Will-Albany Berkeley and El Cerrito Progressives.

We will gather on the University Avenue pedestrian bridge in Berkeley, over I-80. Please bring a candle for the vigil. (We have a few.) Large signs are preferred so cars on the freeway can read them until it gets dark. Signs should reflect the inhumane conditions of refugees, detentions, and camps. After dark, we will light our candles against this darkness in our country.
