Starting in April, Berkeley Copwatch is kicking off our ongoing *weekly* copwatching shifts! We’ll be out in the streets most Fridays and Saturdays witnessing and documenting police activity and doing outreach. Please join us!

No experience required — any experience welcome. We’ll train you in the essentials for documenting police activity and staying safe in the process.

If you are able to bring a car and be a shift driver, that would be GREAT! Please let us know in the “discussion” section or by sending Berkeley Copwatch a message.

Abolition of Policing Workshop @ 3rd Floor
Apr 23 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Want to learn how to work toward abolishing the cops? Want to hear how we challenge the notion that policing keeps us safe? CR Oakland regularly offers this workshop that looks at the role and history of policing in the U.S., the way it has impacted various communities, and how people have resisted and challenged its inherent violence. This workshop also goes over how we can reduce our reliance on policing by highlighting the various ways that building up community strength and practices lead to true safety that does not depend on law enforcement.

The building is wheelchair accessible. Please email croakland@criticalresistance.org to RSVP.

Alameda Renters Coalition – Ballot Initiative Final Push! @ Various locations
Apr 25 @ 10:00 am – 8:00 pm

 URGENT!!
 We need 50 people to commit to collect 100 signatures over the next two weeks.

Our petition drive is reaching the final leg and we need to sprint to the finish. We can do this! Most of our volunteers get about 10 signatures an hour, on average. So, if 50 people can give us just under an hour a day for the next two weeks, we will easily make it!

           Can you commit to 5 hours a week for two weeks?

      Please look at the schedule, choose your times and locations, and email them to                                                                alamedarenterscoalition.com

Call or text us at 510 473-2332. Someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

Oakland Janitors March @ Oscar Grant Plaza
Apr 28 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Oakland Janitors March demanding a tech economy that works for all!

Contracted janitors are an integral part of daily operations at tech company offices, but the majority of janitors working at tech campuses across California are earning poverty wages. Our wages consistently trail behind the cost of living, especially in Oakland with the rising rents. In fact, there are more janitors living in poverty today in the Bay Area than there were in 1990.
 
Janitors are working in a toxic environment where exploitation and abuses including rape, sexual assault, and harassment, as seen in the PBS Frontline documentary Rape on the Night Shift, can occur. That’s why workers across California are coming together to say Enough! ¡Ya Basta!
 
Our contract expires next week. Janitors will decide shortly if there is a reason to go on strike throughout California to protest these unfair labor practices. While we don’t want to go on a STATEWIDE STRIKE, we are ready and willing to fight.
 
This is the last action in Oakland before our contract expires. Will you stand with us?
 
RSVP by replying to the email or on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/events/139380603130846/

Turn Up on Trump (PUBLIC CALL FOR EVERYONE IN THE BAY)
Apr 29 @ 7:00 am – 11:00 am

Hey Folks, This contingent is being organized/ called by the Anti-Police Terrorism Project, Black Lives Matter Bay Area and the BlackOUT Collective. Our groups are led by Black folks and People of Color, who have long connections to our communities in the Bay area, specifically SF and communities in the East. We have strong allies like Asians 4 Black Lives, Occupy Oakland, SURJ, Rising Tide, BASAT. We will operate as Affinity groups meaning: because there is a large mass of folks ready to hit the streets (on this page and on other pages) we do not approach this mass protest with the idea that one group will lead the direction or tone. And we do not expect for us to all use the same tactics or participate in the same program. But all of us agree that people of color/ the most impacted should always be centered. It’s a core shared value. People are going self organize. This is both a general call to action and an opportunity to coordinate some of the on the ground logistics. Our offering is messaging, coordinating roles, tactics, and a place to build community so we have each other’s backs in streets. ‪#‎Autonomy‬ ‪#‎SharedValues‬

Turn Up on Trump: PUBLIC CALL FOR EVERYONE IN THE BAY @ Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport
Apr 29 @ 9:00 am – 11:30 am

Trump announced Wednesday that he will deliver the kickoff address for the California Republican Party convention on April 29. Cruz and Ohio governor John Kasich are also addressing the convention.” – Breitbart article

Building a mass action wall to keep him out! Donald CHUMP thinks he’s going to give a speech in the bay. The republicans are meeting to build more facist power. The people will rise and shut it all down. California has the most prisons in the US and rates amoungst the lowest in education. We need systemic change and TRUMP isn’t it. This is a call for all affinity groups and community members to turn out and turn up!

Fire Chief Suhr March/Press Conference @ Raymond Kimball Playground (for march)
May 3 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

San Francisco’s Police Chief Greg Suhr has blood on his hands. Specifically, the blood of Mario Woods, Alex Nieto, Amilcar Perez-Lopez, Kenneth Harding, and a whole host of others who his officers have gunned down. Every time SFPD murders Black, Brown, and poor people you can count on Chief Suhr lying to the community and creating a false narrative of officers fearing for their lives.

The Justice 4 Mario Woods Coalition demands the immediate firing or resignation of Chief Suhr. With the hunger strikers putting their lives on the line for this demand, Chief Suhr should have been fired yesterday. There will be no peace and definitely no business as usual until our demand is met. Join us in a march and press conference on Tuesday May 3rd, before Suhr is scheduled to participate in a “police accountability forum” and demand #FireChiefSuhr!

We are meeting at 5pm near Divisadero and Geary at Raymond Kimbell Playground and then marching at 5:30 over to the “police accountability forum” at 2266 California Street for a 6pm press conference, demanding‪#‎FireChiefSuhr‬

General Strike SF: in Honor of the Frisco Five @ San Francisco City Hall
May 9 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

With all your love, share and share far and wide:

General Strike, San Francisco, Monday, May 9, 2016

We, the people, invite you to join us for an unprecedented historical moment: a general strike of San Francisco this Monday, May 9, 2016. In honor of the Frisco Five Hunger Strikers and against SFPD killings of our brothers, we urge you to strike from work and school and to boycott any corporate restaurant eating and purchasing.

The time is ripe, and your action is needed now. Because of the Mayor’s unwillingness to fire corrupt police chief Suhr, the Frisco Five have been forced to prolong their hunger strike and have now all been hospitalized. It is time for all of us to action with honor, courage, and sacrifice for those who no longer have a voice, like Alex Nieto, Amilcar Perez Lopez, Mario Woods, and Luis Gongora Pat, all unlawfully killed by SFPD.

Instead of going to work or school, join us to peacefully picket in front of San Francisco City Hall starting at 8:00 a.m. Striking for a righteous cause is nothing new. Gandhi led the Swadeshi movement for Indian self-sufficiency. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks helped lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott against segregation. For farmworkers’ rights, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and the United Farm Workers held strikes against grapes and Safeway stores. Striking is a successful strategy that all of us can contribute to for the sake of justice.

Wear red and black in honor of our fallen brother Alex Nieto. With all your love, share and share far and wide.

 

APTP supports the General Strike

Turn up for the general strike at San Francisco City Hall. Called by and in honor of the #Frisco5 Hunger Strikers and against #SFPD killings of our black brown folk/gente, we support the following requests for the strike:

  • Strike from work and school
  • Boycott any corporate restaurant eating and purchasing
  • Wear red and black in honor of our fallen brother Alex Nieto

The time is ripe, and your action is needed now. Because of the Mayor’s unwillingness to fire corrupt police #ChiefSuhr, the #Frisco5 had prolonged their hunger strike even while hospitalized. Now it is time for all of us to take action with courage and sacrifice for those who no longer have a voice, like Alex Nieto, Amilcar Perez Lopez, Mario Woods, and Luis Gongora Pat, all unlawfully killed by SFPD.

Join us to peacefully picket in front of San Francisco City Hall. Strike as those before us have done for justice for all of our families and communities. Strike as those before us have done, strategically at key moments to bring the momentum of the movement to a heightened unity, solidarity, and push forward – as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks helped lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott against segregation; as Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and the United Farm Workers held strikes against grapes and Safeway stores. We will win! ¡Venceremos!

You are the #Frisco500! We are the #Frisco500!

Protest Chevron’s “reckless pursuit of profits” @ Chevron HQ in San Ramon
May 25 @ 7:00 am – 11:00 am

Be there as the Annual General Meeting of Chevron shareholders gets underway, at a colorful and fun rally outside in support of human rights, environmental, economic and climate justice, and more! Organizers say: “Indigenous and campesino allies affected by Chevron in Ecuador will be accompanied by a First Nations representative from Canada to the meeting. Allies from affected communities in Richmond, California will join the event. They will all have two things in common: They all come from communities that have suffered the dire impacts of Chevron’s reckless pursuit of profits, and they’re all fighting back.”


The Richmond Progressive Alliance is a co-sponsor of the rally. The event’s FB page gives a full and up-to-date list of all the co-sponsors.

Transportation from Richmond and the East Bay is being planned.

March to the OUSD board meeting

* 4:45pm T-shirt & sign making
* 5:30pm Kid zone & rally
* 6:00pm Hands Off Tha Town March/Gentrification Tour

Our communities know what we need: to transform – not dismantle Oakland public schools!

Please RSVP: The Rally for the Schools Oakland Students Deserve

The fight for local control of our public schools in the 90’s was disrupted by the state take over of 2003. Over the last decade school closures and private interests in the school district have increased, while families lives are disrupted as they face being pushed out of Oakland.

Our communities know what we need: to transform – not dismantle Oakland public schools!
We need small class sizes for our kids, and to increase teacher retention!
Our schools and families need to be stabalized and invested in – not moved around or shut down!
Our children need to be inspired by culturally relevant curriculum designed and taught by teachers in our communities – not cramming to memorize test driven lesson plans taught by teachers who just moved to Oakland.

Hundreds of Oakland community members and educators have spent their lives working to re-design and transform our schools to be culturally relevent community run schools.
This critical work cannot happen when OUSD leadership, in collaboration with private interests, undermines our public schools and overrides parent/student/educators input in major decisions that affect our children and schools.
Join the Schools Oakland Students Deserve coalition Weds, May 25th to learn about how the dismantling of Oakland public schools is connected to gentrification and about the work being done to transform Oakland public schools for all students!! #takebackOUSD #ReclaimOurSchools
