FRIDAY JUNE 30TH, 2PM, MISSION POLICE STATION, 630 VALENCIA ST. #ftp pic.twitter.com/wlpRf0GgOR— AntiDisplacementCoup (@AsterZephyrIsis) June 29, 2017
Come stand with the mothers of murdered children and family members this and every Friday to pressure District Atty George Gascon to charge killer SFPD cops with murder who executed Mario Woods, Jessica Nelson, Luis Gongora Pat, Alex Nieto, and all the rest.
Bring signs! STOP POLICE MURDER! We have signs that say “Mario Woods is our Son”, and signs for each one murdered.
Please find the box of signs and “Say Their Names” for the Media.
July 11 we head to city hall and demand land so we can create villages.
We created an effective, immediate, humane and dignified solution that addressed the housing and homeless state of emergency. we cant wait for the city’s slow, money driven bureaucratic process. folks need homes and services NOW! not 5 years from now. the monies and programs the city is FINALLY putting towards low income and no income housing won’t house folks immediately.
but #TheVillage can house folks NOW until the city has secured permanent #HomesForAll.
There are 6,000 folks without homes in oakland. that number will continue to grow unless the city acts like we are in a state of emergency and allows the community to enact our creative and effective solution.
Our displaced residents on the streets want land to build a village for folks in recovery. we want land for a harm reduction village. we want land for a village for families with children and homeless youth. we want land for a lgbtq village. we want land for a village of elders. we want land for a village for women.
please share far and wide.

July 15th Nationwide Protests – Rally at UN Plaza then March to the Mission
To all who agonize and rage at what’s being done to the people, protest and demand:
THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!
Only the people acting together in the streets and public square can force this demand before the world. Should we fail to do so, the future and values we aspire to could be brutally cut short by the actions of the Trump/Pence regime.
The Trump/Pence government has been step by step criminalizing dissent and bludgeoning the truth with worse to come. Stripping away basic rights and the rule of law is at the core of fascism. Group after group is demonized and targeted along a trajectory leading to real horrors. We must not let this be normalized. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late.
July 15th must be a day when every person, every group –religious, community, service, political organization – all who feel the tremendous threat to humanity posed by the Trump/Pence regime – stand together showing the world that people here are determined that this regime must go …not in two years or four, but now.
On July 15, with conviction and courage, overcoming fear and uncertainty, we will act together to resist and say NO!… Not for ourselves alone, but in the name of humanity.

Hours after President Donald Trump’s call to ban transgender people from the military made national headlines, San Francisco resident Rachel Rognerud, 28, created a call to action that is gaining steam.
The protest is set for 6 p.m. at Harvey Milk Plaza, at Market and Castro streets, and already more than 1,000 people have pledged to attend.
“My uncle is trans, and when I saw Trump’s tweet this morning it made me very angry,” Rognerud told the San Francisco Examiner…

Rally, march & direct action to commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the place where new US nuclear weapons are still being developed today.
8 am rally with speakers: Daniel Ellsberg (legendary activist and leaker of the Pentagon Papers), Marylia Kelley (executive director of Tri-Valley Cares), and a Hibakusha (Japanese atomic bomb survivor). With wonderful music by Emma’s Revolution. Together, solemnly we will commemorate the nightmarish effects of nuclear weapons–from uranium mining to testing use–on the people of Japan, the Marshall Island, and the First Nations–and all the people living near nuclear facilities across the country and around the world. We will recommit ourselves to efforts to abolish these indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction Please bring a large photograph of a loved one. As always, we act in the spirit of nonviolence.
At 9:00 am we will march to the gates of Livermore Lab, where we will join in an Obon dance, (Japanese folk dance). Following the dance those who choose will peaceably risk arrest.

Come stand up for immigrants, refugees and the marginalized folks ensnared by the criminal injustice system who are inside the Bay Area’s regional ICE detention center / Contra Costa’s county’s jail—and show your support for their visiting loved ones too. It’s our responsibility to fight the right wing’s racist, xenophobic, anti-Muslim, ableist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynist ramp up of authoritarian policing, detention and deportation practices—if not now, when?
FEATURING:
Rabbi Dev Nolly and members of Kehilla Community Synagogue
Bend the Arc Bay Area Resistance (Co-organizer)
Occupella
and more TBA…
Let Our People Go is a youth-and-elder-friendly action that opposes the detentions/deportations and mass incarceration with activist debriefs, music, art, stories and representation from different faith communities (including faithful and faithless humanists). Accessible site, easy parking, bathrooms available closeby in the visitors waiting room.
LET OUR PEOPLE GO was initiated by members of the Kehilla Immigration Committee on the 2nd Sunday of every month, modeled on the 1st Saturday vigils held by our partners at Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity. Many of us, especially caregivers, can’t get to evening meetings or attend long weekend events and marches, but we want to show up and we want to get youth involved in this struggle. This one-hour protest is a way for more families with tweens/teens—especially those with citizenship privileges—to stand up for our peoples and bring more attention to this immoral site of internment right in our community.

President Trump has threatened the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) with “fire and fury like the world has never seen” – a new nuclear war aimed at annihilating the DPRK. We must say NO to a devastating new war in Korea!
Are you outraged that the Alameda County Sheriff’s Dept. is retweeting white supremacists?
Are you angry that Sheriff Ahern and other sheriffs want to keep deporting our loved ones? (The CA State Sheriffs Association is trying to bully Gov Brown into further weakening SB 54, the “Sanctuary” bill that would push back on Trump’s deportation machine!)
Then join us tomorrow to say NO to white supremacy and racism!
You probably already heard that on Sunday night, the Alameda County Sheriff’s official twitter account retweeted infamous white supremacist Richard Spencer.
The department’s claiming this is an “accident,” but in fact it’s part of a long pattern of racist attitudes and practices at the department.
This same deputy, Sargeant Kelly, made headlines defending the arrest of a fruit vendor a few months ago, saying: “If you don’t enforce this type of selling, it will begin to look like a Third World fruit market.”
And Sheriff Ahern himself signed a letter endorsing white nationalist Jeff Sessions’ nomination as Attorney General. And he’s also said he can identify undocumented immigrants based on “language, luggage, and clothing.”
We cannot remain silent.
oin us outside the San Francisco Hall of Justice as we protest anti-abortion advocates David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt.
In 2015, David and Sandra released edited footage claiming that Planned Parenthood was selling fetal tissue for profit. These claims were later proven to be completely false. The videos were nothing more than an attempt to slander Planned Parenthood, incite violence against abortion providers, and make abortion inaccessible. David and Sandra are currently being charged with 15 felony counts.
Let’s show them that the State of California will not tolerate anti-choice propaganda and that we stand with Planned Parenthood. Under the Trump regime we cannot afford to be silent when it comes to women’s rights.
Feel free to make your own sign and bring a friend. Handmaid costumes can be provided but please make sure to RSVP so that we know how many to provide.

Please join us at the Anti-Racist rally to be held in opposition to the White Supremacists that are organizing a racist rally at Chrissy Fields in San Francisco.
There is a call to assemble in the morning, followed by a march to Chrissy Field at 10:00am.
PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVEN’T CHANGED THE MEETING POINT.
Today, join us at the Police Commission meeting! Tasers are off the agenda, but we'll be there making sure the often deadly weapons don't come back.https://t.co/bxKBvzMPsc pic.twitter.com/kUcg0JDsHv
