The family of Alan Blueford has asked allies to come to the Oakland City Council Meeting at 6 pm on Tuesday to demand justice for the OPD killing of their son! Get there by 6 pm to demand a real investigation into the circumstances of the killing! The police officer should not be on paid leave, beyond that, what is his name, and why are they still on the force?

The working class is facing an unprecedented assault from
employers and the state. We must build solidarity in collective
struggle. In this spirit we invite all workers – paid and unpaid,
employed and unemployed, union and non-union, full-time and
precarious – to join a Workers’ Assembly.
We aim to encourage communication and solidarity between
different sectors of the working class. We want to encourage
common struggle against the 1% and their agents who exploit
and oppress us, for a society based on justice and equality, where
the needs and desires of all working people are given first priority.
This will be the 2nd meeting of the Workers’ Assembly.
It will take place at the SEIU 1021 Hall, 155 Myrtle St, Oakland, CA.
Please join us — And there is such thing as a free lunch!

Our comrade Jesus is being sentenced on Thursday, but a show of our strong community support can improve his sentence.
Jesus was originally charged with three counts of felony assault of an officer with a folding chair, among other things, for an incident that occurred during the December 30th raid of Oscar Grant Plaza. A jury has convicted him of one felony count of deterring an officer. Jesus has been inside Santa Rita Jail since late January; on Thursday we’ll find out how long he’ll have to stay there.
Let’s show the judge and DA how real our solidarity is!
When: 9AM, Thursday, May 24, 2012
Where: Dept 14, Rene Davis Courthouse
