Nurses on the Picket Line 12:00 pm
Nurses on the Picket Line @ Contra Costa Medical Center
Oct 6 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
    Please join nurses in their demand that Contra Costa County Supervisors invest in the health and wellbeing of  county residents.  This is a matter of life and death. Every budget cycle in the last few years Contra Costa County Supervisors have attempted to divest from the Contra Costa County Health System.  Last year 63,000 Contra Costa County residents visited the ER, and 100 nurses left the System, leaving short staffing.  Nurses are scrambling to provide appropriate patient care. Please join the nurses on their picket line. Any time is fine, … Continued

Oct 10 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
APPARENTLY CANCELLED BY THE PERSON WHO ORIGINALLY CALLED FOR IT AND MADE THE FACEBOOK EVENT. *THIS EVENT WILL NOT BE GETTING A PERMIT!* RSVP We have probably all seen the sign on Lakeshore advising us that barbecues, amplified music, beer, and fun in general are no longer allowed in the parks around the lake without a permit from the city. Now the City has decided that musical instruments are also not allowed without prior acquisition of a permit. What this means is that our public spaces are only truly accessible … Continued

This is bullshit and we know it! Gentrification is trying to take your cultural space, from churches to your beautiful lake oakland. It’s time to be heard.

We must draw the line. Let’s meet at the steps closest to the freeway by where the farmers market is on Saturdays. Please invite anyone who is willing and please share this … Continued

CALL TO ACTION: EMERGENCY PROTEST FOR PALESTINE!
Oct 15 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
We, the General Union of Palestine Students, declare Palestine in a state of emergency and urge all of our community organizers and leaders to come forth as we rise with the uprisings, as we rise with Palestine in front of the Israeli Consulate. As you may have heard recently, the situation in Palestine has been deteriorating. Within the past few weeks, Zionist forces have shut down Al-Aqsa and Al-Aqsa compound, forbidding all Palestinian and Muslim worshippers from their homes of prayer and restricting their rights to practice their religion in … Continued

Down With Geese! Protest Party at Lake Merritt 2:00 pm
Down With Geese! Protest Party at Lake Merritt @ Lake Merritt Amphitheater
Oct 17 @ 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm
We’ve all seen the hordes of Canadian geese around the lake. They are an invasive, non-native species that have taken up residence, are shitting all over everything, and are depriving local wildlife of resources. The City has installed a bird sanctuary on the west side of the Lake, but it is not sufficient to make up for the displacement of the indigenous bird population by the relative newcomers, the Canadian geese, especially since several Canadian geese have taken up residence in and around the housing previously designated for native species. … Continued

Protest: Oakland City Council to approve $127k for 121 OPD shotguns 9:30 am
Protest: Oakland City Council to approve $127k for 121 OPD shotguns @ Oscar Grant Plaza / City Hall
Oct 27 @ 9:30 am – 10:30 am
There is a good chance that the only reason this is even appearing on a committee meeting agenda is because the sum is more than $100,000 otherwise the citizens would not have known of this. One might wonder if this purchase came out of the recent Urban Shield vendor weapons display. The Oakland Police Dept will say the shotguns they already have are old and overused – which is a tired argument. Municipal police departments are not supposed to be firing weapons aside from on the firing range and these … Continued
