For far too long, our political leaders have failed to represent Oakland’s true values. It is time for the Oakland Left to unite, recruit our own candidates and build political power to achieve meaningful change.

At our last meeting we discussed how to:

1) RECRUIT candidates from the progressive community,
2) SUPPORT their campaigns, and
3) WORK toward collective endorsements of a slate of candidates for city council and school board in 2016.

This time we will discuss:

1) Which races to prioritize,
2) The process for selecting candidates,
3) Developing a progressive campaign platform, and
4) What form the growing coalition will take going forward.

Oakland Alliance seeks to unite the progressive movement in Oakland behind a slate of candidates who will challenge the institutional power structure that has failed to represent the interests of the people over the powerful. Come and connect with dozens of organizations interested in building long-term political power and holding our elected officials accountable to the needs of their constituents.
