Grassroots Digital Security Training

Jan 27 @ 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

Bay Area activists of color and allies: Learn how to protect yourself from surveillance at a digital security training!

The vast system of U.S. surveillance is in the hands of a President who is violating our constitutional and human rights. As organizers, it’s vital that we protect our digital security so we can continue to work for social change.

The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and The Center for Media Justice – home of the Media Action Grassroots Network – in partnership with Wellstone Action and United We Dream, would like to invite activists and organizers to join us for a FREE digital security training to protect community activism and protest.

Our team of expert security practitioners are flying in from around the country to share the history and current reality of surveillance in a digital age and under the Trump Administration, and use interactive practices and learning-in-action to get your phone, computer, apps, and services secure.

Where:

Oakland, CA (Exact location will be sent to you via email upon completion of pre-registration survey. Event space is wheelchair-accessible.)

What you will learn: Participants will learn surveillance self-defense — including sustainable digital security practices to keep you and your personal or social movement networks safe from 21st century threats including

Direct police and government surveillance of activists
Indirect government surveillance using third-party developers
Spying by your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Doxxing, exposure, and online harassment

*Please be sure to bring your mobile devices with you as you will be working to secure them throughout the day!

This training is grounded in cultural relevance, self-determination, relationships, and racial justice – and driven by art, community organizing, generative somatics and popular education.

United Against White Supremacy Symposium @ Berkeley School of Law, Booth Auditorium

Tickets

Feb 2 @ 9:00 am – 6:00 pm

Racism has been the blueprint and the foundation of the United States since its inception. Over centuries of struggle, the United States has been pushed to evolve on this issue and in many ways the Bay Area has led the charge to provide progressive models of social and legal equity and inclusion. Nevertheless, white supremacy continues to operate in the Bay Area both covertly and increasingly, overtly.

Now, the Berkeley Journal of African American Law and Policy, Asian American Law Journal, La Raza Law Journal, and Journal of Middle Eastern and Islamic Law have come together to co-sponsor a joint symposium entitled United Against White Supremacy.

This symposium will be a space to examine and discuss how white supremacy operates in our daily lives. In particular, the symposium will convene panels addressing gentrification, affirmative action, immigration, and incarceration. These panels will provide forums to develop new ways of thinking and legal strategies to confront and dismantle white supremacy.

Cannabis ~~entrepreneurs~~ capitalists bought the building currently occupied by an artists’ collective of 30 folks and intend to boot them and turn the building into a huge weed factory. Pot grows anywhere, but good, reasonable live/work spaces are few and far between. Where is Jeff Sessions when we need him?

Show your opposition to this grab at the Oakland Cannabis Regulatory Commission Hearing at City Hall at 5:30 on Thursday, February 15th.

Greetings friends and family,

Could use a little push for this weeks hearing. Our call for help was expedited to be heard in full force. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Protect the Sacred: Divest Wells Fargo @ Wells Fargo SF

Tickets

Feb 24 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Join Idle No More SF Bay and Indigenous Environmental Network at Wells Fargo headquarters in San Francisco to protest Wells Fargo’s crimes against Indigenous Peoples and the planet. We’ll paint a giant image (details coming) while we sing, pray and demand that Wells Fargo divest from fossil fuels, fossil fuel infrastructure, and projects that threaten the sacred system of life and violate the rights of Indigenous Peoples to free, prior and informed consent.

We will also send a message that Wells Fargo’s grant of $50 million to Native American communities shows their fundamental hypocrisy. It’s no more than an attempt to green wash their record as they recently agreed to extend $1.5 billion in credit to the Canadian oil corporation, TransCanada, to build the Keystone XL pipeline. Protect Indigenous Sovereignty! Protect Clean Water! Climate Justice!

Wells Fargo finances corporations that violate Indigenous Sovereignty.

Wells Fargo finances pipelines which harm our water, air and soil.

Wells Fargo finances climate chaos & disruption.

No more!

And save the date: Friday, February 23rd, for a panel discussion with water protectors from South Dakota. Details soon!

Stop Urban Shield for Good!

Tickets

Mar 8 all-day

March 8^th Call-in & Email Supervisors

Stop Urban Shield for Good!

This is a pivotal moment in the Stop Urban Shield campaign. Get READY! This month we will mobilize to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors vote to defund Urban Shield and put an end to Sheriff Ahern’s racist policing program and weapons expo.

No money ($1.5 million), No Program.

On Tuesday, February 27^th you and the Stop Urban Shield coalition helped the Alameda County Board of Supervisors understand and challenge a major report given to them by the Urban Shield Task Force. A report meant to help them decide on the continuation of Urban Shield. 3 of the 5 Supervisors (Keith Carson, Wilma Chan, and Richard Valle) actually challenged Sheriff Ahern on the impacts of militarized policing. They named racial profiling, trigger-happy cops, and called ICE terrorists in the wake of the Bay Area ICE Raids.

But, they’re scared by the Sheriff’s fear-driven campaign, and they aren’t swayed yet. We want to thank them for taking the threats to their communities seriously and for listening to their constituents. They need to know they aren’t alone in making a huge decision about emergency preparedness for their district. They need to know the people want life-affirming emergency preparedness, and that we’re with them.

Two Ways You Can Act:

1) Email or Call Supervisors Carson, Chan and Valle (see email and phone script) by Monday, March 12^th.

2) Prepare to mobilize To Alameda County Board of Supervisors, 1221 Oak Street, Oakland, CA. The meeting can happen as early as next week so it is important to make calls and be on the lookout for action alerts.

This is an important moment. The Supervisors are expressing rising mistrust and anger with the Sheriff. Let’s use this moment to channel their anger into a REAL WIN. You’ve been with us a long time. Let’s STOP URBAN SHIELD.

Email & Phone Script – Please email or call the following Supervisors:

Keith Carson: phone: (510) 272-6695 or email: amy.shrago@acgov

Wilma Chan: phone: 510.272.6693 or email: jeanette.dong@acgov.org

Richard Valle: phone: 510.272.6692 or email: christopher.miley@acgov.org

Hi, my name is ____ and I am a member of the Stop Urban Shield Coalition.

[If you are a resident or worker in the Supervisors District, please name that as well. For example: I am a resident of Supervisor Chan’s district. Or Supervisor Carson represents me. I work in Supervisor Valle’s district.]

I am calling/emailing to thank Supervisor [fill in the their name] for their rigorous examination of the Urban Shield Task Force report and Sheriff Ahern’s role in sponsoring racist training programs for emergency responders. As a resident of Alameda County, I am encouraged to see Supervisor [fill in their name] and others taking the impact of militarized policing on our communities and their constituents seriously.

You work everyday for a safer Alameda County. You already know Sheriff Ahern’s connections with ICE and the recent ICE raids, his support of racial profiling, and Urban Shiled (the program that builds up all of this) do not keep our communities safer. I am asking you to defund Urban Shield when it comes up for vote this month, whether it’s Tuesday March 13^th or later. You have a chance to stand for life-affirming emergency preparedness in our county, and I am with you. Thank you.

Surveillance Equipment Regulation Ordinance Vote @ Old Berkeley City Hall

Tickets

Mar 13 @ 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Bring secret government surveillance out of the shadows. Tell the Berkeley City Council to vote yes!

TAKE ACTION

Did you know that 50 percent of all American adults are in a face-recognition database? Are you aware that Stingray cellphone trackers can pinpoint your location within a matter of yards? Or that police departments collect sensitive location data about drivers that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is eager to exploit?

You can take action today to protect our diverse Bay Area community from unaccountable police surveillance. The Berkeley City Council is currently considering a crucial surveillance technology ordinance that would ensure transparency, accountability, and oversight of these technologies. Tell them to vote YES.

This ordinance comes at a crucial time. Right now, ICE is trying to access local databases as it escalates attacks on Bay Area neighborhoods.

With your help, Berkeley could be the first city in the Bay Area to adopt an ordinance that requires transparency for surveillance technologies. The people of Berkeley have the right to reject dangerous surveillance technologies before local law enforcement agencies can acquire them.

Law enforcement shouldn’t be able to acquire surveillance technology in secret, yet it happens every day. Our local elected leaders must be empowered to intervene.

The Berkeley City Council will be voting very soon on this ordinance. Similar legislation is under consideration by city councils in Oakland and Davis. The Bay Area is part of a nationwide movement to fight secret and discriminatory surveillance. Take action now to stand for community control of police surveillance.

Make sure the City Council votes YES on this ordinance.

WORKSHOP ON AIR POLLUTION IN WEST OAKLAND @ Lincoln Child Center

Tickets

Apr 22 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

West Oakland residents will get the results of three recent air monitoring studies and discuss how to use this information and local knowledge to push for a truly comprehensive plan that minimizes air pollution in our neighborhoods.

The three studies were done in connection with a new Truck Management Program for West Oakland. The workshop will cover 100 x 100 air monitoring sensors placed throughout West Oakland; EDF/Google air mapping; and a study analyzing why filters on trucks are not working effectively at the Port of Oakland. The results of these studies will inform attendees of scientific findings about how black carbon — the main component of soot emitted from diesel engines, wood smoke, and other sources — varies throughout West Oakland.

Workshop participants will work together to set priorities and recommend ways that this information and residents’ local knowledge can inform the City and the Port of Oakland to produce a truly comprehensive plan that minimizes air pollution in our neighborhoods.

Righteous Resistance Symposium @ First Congregational Church of Oakland

Tickets

May 18 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm

We face a current political and social climate that continues to belie black humanity – where, without impunity, a young black man can be followed into his grandmother’s backyard and shot in the back six times out of the 20 shots fired at him.

Will we stand on the sideline or will we join the important struggle that Black Americans & many others daily endure to live free from racism, violence & terror?

We believe we are called to lean into a ministry and theology of resistance, reclaiming the hope and power inherent in our prophetic faiths, giving us courage and healing for the days ahead.

There are many different ways that your congregation and community can enter into solidarity with us.

There will be a time of celebration and fellowship, and training around resisting State Violence, ICE Raids, 2018 Election, Digital Organizing, and the Poor Peoples Campaign Workshops.

We are inviting you to wrestle with the principalities and powers that manifest themselves in racial prejudice, systemic evil and violence, and religious apathy and complicity.

We need you here; it is our duty to firght for freedom!

Register today! Space is Limited.
