“From the folks who brought you the West Coast Port Shutdown.”
We will be brainstorming our next major action, an attempt to raise holy hell over the fact that the minimum wage in Oakland is still $8.00, while in San Francisco it is $10.55 and in San Jose it is $10.00. Plus the fact that Oakland is willing to insist on its own workers and those with contracts to the city being paid a living wage but not private sector workers. Please come join us and add your voice!
We are planning a ‘Livable Wage Assembly’ for late February or early March as a first step. We could use your help! Please join us!
We will also be discussing Labor related efforts such as the Mi Pueblo workers’ struggle, ILWU and ILA happenings, Drone Coalition actions, what’s happening with the SF19, and other labor-related happenings.
Some of our friends and comrades are still facing heavy shit from the Columbus Day Cop-riot. Their next court day is coming up and they could use some support.
“Come pack the courtroom on February 8th to support the ACAC 19!
Solidarity is our weapon against the state! Our love for our comrades is stronger than their cages and their court.
On Friday February 8th, 2013 members of the Anti-Capitalist Anti-Colonial (ACAC) 19 will be appearing in San Francisco Superior Court at 850 Bryant Street for a pretrial motions hearing. We call on you, supporters, friends, and comrades to pack the courtroom. Support comes in many forms: banners and signs on the court steps, people in the courtroom and spreading the word about the trial. Let us show the District Attorney that our comrades are not alone in their relentless struggle against colonialism, capitalism and the state.”
The Brooms Collective has been meeting Saturday mornings at 9 AM or 10 AM for a year now at a tiny park at 32nd and San Pablo in Oakland. To commemorate this auspicious anniversary folks will be meeting there at 11 AM Saturday, February 9th to sweep away late-capitalist decay and maybe have a little fress at noon, as well. Bring a little food to share, there will be paper plates and utensils and maybe some gelatinous Ed-chow if we are unlucky.
We are planning our actions for the new year in our search for Justice 4 Alan Blueford. We are making a difference! We can use all the help we can get! Come join us!
We are launching a campaign to convince California Attorney General Kamala Harris to indict officer Miguel Masso for the murder of Alan Blueford. We will be having a rally March 5th to kick this off.
We are protesting the imminent imposition of Stop & Frisk within the confines of Oakland. We made our presence known, along with other groups, at the Oakland City Council Public Safety Committee meeting two weeks ago and the City Council meeting last week, where they discussed the hiring of William “Stop&Frisk” Bratton as a high-priced consultant to further terrorize the denizens of the city. We will be discussing what next steps we should take.
We are formulating how we should interact with Judge Thelton Henderson’s Compliance Director for the Oakland police.
We are discussing how we can aide other families who are victims of police violence.
We are putting together support from Labor Unions, students, people of faith and everyone else who is opposed to injustice with respect to policing our country. The Alameda Labor Council just endorsed a resolution calling for the firing and prosecution of Officer Masso, the OPD officer who shot Alan Blueford.
We are making a difference! We can use all the help we can get! Come join us!
Our weekly open meeting for members and supporters to discuss the weeks tasks and projects. Come get plugged into ongoing housing defense work! We have abundant and varied work for all folks in any number of meaningful projects.
Rain location: SF Pizza, 1500 Broadway, Oakland
After our very successful Debtor’s Assembly on Saturday, come help us organize our next moves. We will be holding a strategy session this coming Saturday, and we will be planning for that along with disussing other things we might do.
Within the next few weeks, one of the worst banks we know is trying to foreclose on three homeowners–Gaylynne, a laid-off OUSD educator; Jill–a single mother, working finally after a long bout of unemployment; and Gloria, a 78 year old woman with no place else to go; and Carnell and his family a laid-off Auto Worker.
Tell the bank that we will not accept this–putting people out of their homes rather than working with them to reach an affordable mortgage and market-rate principal is inexcusable!
Meet at the Downtown Berkeley BART, UNDERGROUND at the bottom of the Escalators at Shattuck and Center at 3:30 PM.
Why: This is our city, our homes, and our community, and we can’t let this bank take over any more than they already have.
On Thursday, February 14th, at 1:00PM, the Public Protection Committee of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors will be holding a hearing on the potential acquisition of a drone by Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern. The meeting will take place at the Alameda County Administration Building, located on 1221 Oak Street Room 512, Oakland, CA.
While drones are particularly notorious for their use in targeted killings overseas, they can be deployed for surveillance purposes as well. In addition, they can be armed with weapons such as tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. They also crash frequently, increasing their danger to public safety. Sheriff Ahern wants a drone with live video capabilities, high definition cameras, infrared, license plate readers, and laser radar. He wants to further militarize his police force, but we know that Alameda County does not need more policing. It needs money for schools and community services.
Say no to militarization of the police. Say yes to an Alameda County that is safe for all!
