| A plan to rush a new “Encampment Abatement Policy” that would criminalize homelessness in Oakland failed on Wednesday, thanks to the over one hundred residents who came out to speak in opposition to the proposal and in favor of real housing solutions. Organizing works!
But the fight is far from over – the Public Safety Committee voted to put this legislation on their “pending” list, which means Councilmembers will have time to propose amendments before bringing the policy back to Council for a vote. In the meantime, we are building on the momentum from this week’s victory to urge City Council to focus its resources on transitional and permanent affordable housing that gets Oaklanders off the streets. What: Press Conference of houseless, formerly houseless sweeps survivors, housed allies, community organizations and small businesses who successfully pushed back a plan to rush a new “Encampment Abatement Policy” speaking on real solutions to homelessness Who: Moms 4 Housing, POOR Magazine / Homefulness, Wood Street Commons, Black Solutions Lab, Care 4 Community Action, currently houseless people, Oakland residents, small business owners, and hopefully you, your family, roommates, friends, and neighbors! See you on Monday! |
