OAKLAND (UN)FAIR CARNIVAL AND MARCH
We are graduate students, undergrads, faculty, workers, lecturers, and others concerned about DEFENDING QUALITY AND ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC EDUCATION and BUILDING SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE WORKPLACES at the UC.
Thursday June 6
(un)Fair Carnival and Musical March::
12pm: Start at Oscar Grant Plaza. We’ll be stopping by the hotel where high-level administrators are attending a conference with panels on how to suppress protests and public events like ours.
People’s Public Forum::
If you want to join us just for the People’s Public Forum:
1pm: Converge at Snow Park before we head to the Kaiser Center (300 Lakeside Dr.) at 1:30 for a People’s Public Forum. We are hopeful that the administration will let us speak inside the Oakland Room #1015 as per their original plan, but we are prepared to hold a press conference with speakers outside of the building if they refuse. Come one, come all.
President Obama is coming to Palo Alto for a fundraiser, and hundreds of people are gathering to meet him with a powerful message: stop the Keystone XL pipeline!
Over the last couple months, thousands of organizers across the country have met President Obama at events across the country to tell him we expect him to stop the pipeline. Just 6 weeks ago, over 1000 folks gathered in San Francisco, and over 150 in Atherton to tell the President no pipeline! It’s the South Bay’s turn again to show the President we want him to stand up for the climate and stop Keystone XL.
We know that this decision is about siding with Big Oil or the people. We may not be able to make it into an expensive fundraiser, we will make sure that we are heard. There will be signs and banners there already; all you absolutely need is to be ready to make some noise.
Come join us on Thursday for what is sure to be a fun time.
Join us for a solidarity rally to support the protests in Turkey, which initially began at Gezi Parki. The demonstrations at Gezi Parki were directed to halt the destruction of Taksim’s last green area. For the past week, a cross section of the population has been demonstrating throughout Turkey against police brutality and increasingly anti-democratic government practices. At least two protestors have been killed as a result of police brutality. We need your support!

Dear Friends and Allies of the Justice for Alan Blueford Coalition:
Please join us at City Council 14th and Broadway on June 13th at 5:30 PM. The City Budget decision is fast approaching. The City of Oakland is holing several hearings about city funds and June 13th is the next one. The big question is what will the city council spend our money on: police or social services. The city workers in several unions (SEIU Local 1021, IFPTE Local 21, and IBEW local 1245) are fighting for more money for their contracts, and less for the department that takes up the lion’s share of the budget: namely the police. Just as many unions such as SEIU 1021 have endorsed the Justice for Alan Blueford Campaign, so too does the Justice for Alan Blueford Campaign stand in solidarity with city workers in their fight. Our fights are connected since we face the same enemy.
Why should money go to a police department that still has not fired and charged Alan’s killer, Miguel Masso?

START DATE: Friday June 14
TIME: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location Details: Rally & Chalk art 5pm at Dianne Feinstein’s Office, One Post St. near Montgomery BART station on Market St., San Francisco March at 4pm from Gezi Gardens, Laguna and Fell St. (formerly Hayes Valley Farm)
Protest RALLY AND CHALK ART TO SUPPORT NSA WHISTLEBLOWER EDWARD SNOWDEN AT DIANNE FEINSTEIN’S OFFICE AT ONE POST ST. NEAR MONTGOMERY BART STATION. BRING CHALK!!! 5PM RALLY AT FEINSTEIN’S OFFICE ONE POST ST. 4PM MARCH TO FEINSTEIN’S OFFICE FROM GEZI GARDENS, LAGUNA AND FELL ST. (FORMERLY HAYES VALLEY FARM, CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY ACTIVISTS TO PREVENT DEVELOPMENT)
The government is watching you, yet we refuse to live in fear. Stand in solidarity with whistleblowers and those that speak truth to power! Edward Snowden, 29 year old whistleblower, exposed the illegal NSA/FBI surveillance system called PRISM which gives the government and private security firms direct access to the servers of Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Youtube, MSN, etc. as well as direct access to Verizon phone logs. Edward Snowden, like Bradley Manning and Daniel Ellsberg before him have done a great service to humanity by uncovering to the public the extent at which the government will go to spy on its citizens and deprive of our rights. Dianne Feinstein has called Snowden a traitor, yet she is the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence where she would have been briefed on these government programs that threaten our freedom and violate our fourth amendment rights. Rally at Feinstein’s office at 5pm, march to Feinstein’s office from Gezi Gardens at 4pm.
Capitalism is Killing the Planet. How Can We Fight Back?
Capitalism’s competitive drive to accumulate puts it at odds with our ecosystem and therefore all of humanity. The EcoSocialist coalition wants to build a new sustainable society based on genuine democracy and harmony with our planet by building mass movements against climate change, nuclear disasters, agribusiness and environmental racism. Join us!
We held a vigil on the evening of May 5th, the one year anniversary of Alan Blueford’s death. See photos here.
We are figuring out how to get Miguel Masso, the officer who killed Alan Blueford, fired and prosecuted. In light of the recent upheavals in the Oakland Police Department, we are renewing our calls for the firing of Masso and justice for Alan. We held a press conference to this effect on Thursday, May 16th.
We are formulating how we should interact with Judge Thelton Henderson’s newly appointed Compliance Director for the Oakland police, Thomas Frazier.
We are discussing how we can aide other families who are victims of police violence.
We are making a difference! We can use all the help we can get! Come join us!
