Mayor Lee has been decidedly absent as we have sought dialogue with him about Chief Suhr’s inability to run a police force. Chief Suhr has created a culture of racism and brutalization that gave those five officers permission to assassinate Mario Woods. If he will not fire Chief Suhr, who refuses to step down, then we will let him know that he can go too. If we do not get justice, he will not get peace!!! We will be at the doors of San Francisco’s City Hall for the Mayor’s … Continued

“Oakland is being touted as a #1 tourist destination spot. Under the Mayorship of Libby Schaaf, a mandate has been issued to make the City pretty for tourists and developers.

As part of the 96 Hours of Direct Action, Join APTP at Terminal One of Oakland Airport where we will welcome people to Oakland – … Continued

We’ll meet at the International terminal, at the BART fare gates. Try to be on time, we may move around the airport. BART goes right to the … Continued

SUNRISE PICKET! “As a housekeeper, I work very hard so that Homewood guests can have clean rooms and a good experience at the hotel, but the pressure of having to clean so many checkouts in one day gives me so much stress that I don’t have any energy for my kids when I come home at the end of the day. That’s why I am fighting for the same workload protections, fair raises and affordable health insurance for my family, that other union hotel housekeepers in Oakland have.” – Consuelo … Continued

Saturday January 30, 2016 is the grand opening of Mayor Lee’s Super Bowl City. He has spent all of his energy pushing out the homeless, disabling bus lines and creating traffic jams so that his precious Super Bowl City can inconvenience the city of San Francisco for two weeks. This is energy he could have spent apologizing to Mario Woods’ family, seeking justice and acting like he actually cares about the black and brown community in San Francisco. We have promised him no peace until we get justice. We will … Continued
