Join us January 13-16, 2023 for a weekend of teach-ins, trainings, film screenings, healing justice workshops, and action in King’s honor as we get ready for a year of solidarity, community and liberation.
Every year at this time we recommit ourselves to the path of revolution and liberation laid out for us by Dr. King and the long lineage of Black freedom fighters who came before us. Not the white-washed, sanitized version of King that the US capitalist state has co-opted and sold back to us, but rather the radical, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist revolutionary who called for an all out war against poverty. RSVP to let us know you can join us!
This time for the first time in 8 years, the People of Oakland can breathe a small sigh of relief. The disastrous Libby Schaaf administration has come to an end. Voters rejected the worst pro-police candidates and elected a progressive-leaning bloc on city council for the first time in memory. And they passed sweeping measures to create affordable housing and tax-the-rich.
But regardless of who’s in office, Dr. King’s legacy of radical direct action teaches us that real change comes from the people. And it’s going to take all of us coming together more unified than ever.
For decades Oakland has been at the vanguard in the fight Black liberation. It’s time we reclaim that distinction. This MLK Day, APTP is proud to unveil our new community resource building, The People’s House, located in the Bottoms in West Oakland, the birthplace of the Black Panthers. We will use it as a hub for Mental Health First, First Responders Committee, the California Healers Network, and all of our survival programs and alternative response models. Our new building will also house phase one of the world’s first abolitionist holistic care clinic for community crises involving mental health, intimate partner violence and substance use.
Donate today to support APTP’s expansion and our Black leadership’s vision.
