We are planning an outreach barbeque on April 13th! (Yum!)
Expect delicious home-cooked food, great music, powerful speakers, kid-friendly activities, a nurse’s station – all donated to this community event in honor of Alan Blueford, a Skyline High School student who was murdered by OPD Officer Miguel Masso almost one year ago on May 6th, 2012.
We will be holding a vigil on the one year anniversary of Alan Blueford’s death, May 6th.
We have launched a campaign to convince California Attorney General Kamala Harris to indict officer Miguel Masso for the murder of Alan Blueford. We kicked it off with a rally on March 5th.
We held a solidarity rally against the execution of Kimani Gray in Brooklyn by NYPD and police violence in general.
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!

A public forum to save the life and win the freedom of radical attorney Lynne Stewart, suffering from Stage 4 lung cancer.
• Victim of a government frame-up conviction on charges of aiding and abetting terrorism •Imprisoned for ten years for defending
the civil liberties and democratic rights of the Egyptian cleric (the “blind sheik’) Omar Abdel Rachman
• Lynne has Stage 4 lung cancer and is seeking “compassionate release” to the New York City hospital that treated her original and now metastasized breast cancer. Citing “prison regulations” at FMC Carswell in Forth Worth, Texas, the warden denied release on the grounds that their medical experts claim that Lynne does not fall under this release program because she has at least two years to live before being overtaken by her metastasized cancer. Lynne’s medical experts say that if she is allowed the state-of-the-art treatment available today, she can recover. Meanwhile Lynne’s appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her case is pending.
• Lynne is lifelong civil liberties attorney, social justice and human rights activist, coordinating committee member of the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) and a member of the National Lawyers Guild
Hear: Jeff Mackler, West Coast Coordinator, Lynne Stewart Defense Committee; lifelong friend of Lynne Stewart; director, The Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal; Administrative Committee, UNAC

Recently hundreds of fast food workers participated in a wildcat strike in New York City to demand $15/dollars per hour. Now it looks like workers in Chicago are going for it as well. We need to Fight for Fifteen in Oakland!
Rampant gentrification and exploitation abounds in Oakland, with stores run by massively profitable corporations thriving off the labor of workers barely making minimum wage or more, but we know we can’t survive in this town on $8/hr. Bring this class tension to the forefront by fighting for a livable wage!
The May Day Fight for Fifteen assembly is planning for and publicizing a noise demo through downtown Oakland on May 1st aka May Day, the traditional holiday to commemorate workers’ struggles.
And, as we all know, whatever they do in New York, we can do better in Oakland.
This is a project of the Livable Wage Assembly, originally initiated by Occupy Oakland Labor Solidarity.
We will be holding a vigil on May 5th on the evening of May 5th, the one year anniversary of Alan Blueford’s death.
