Cops or Counselors: The Crisis in Berkeley’s Mental Heath System @ East Bay Media Center
May 31 @ 2:00 am – 4:00 am

Tasers, spit hoods, pepper spray, hog-tie and “the Wrap” : Is this what Berkeley means by the term “Mental Health Services” ? Numerous incidents in Berkeley show that the “compassionate care” we thought was beging given by mental health care professionals has deteriorated into the systematic use of brute force against those in crisis.

SPEAKERS VIDEO CLIPS WORKSHOP

Justice 4 Alan Blueford Meeting @ SEIU 1021 Offices, East Oakland
Jun 1 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

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!
