As a direct result of incredible community organizing over the past year, Oakland City Council is holding a special hearing of the Community Economic Development Committee, where the three proposals for development on E 12th – including A People’s Proposal – will be presented publicly. A People’s Proposal is available online here.
We need to show the depth of community support for 100% affordable housing on public land. Please join us on Monday 2/29:
- 4:00 Community gathering on steps of Oakland City Hall
- 4:30 Special CED Committee Meeting on E 12th Proposals
The fight for the E 12th A People’s Proposal is not just about one piece of public land. We need to lift up the voices of the people who are being impacted by our housing crisis and push back against development-as-usual in Oakland. Join us to demand real solutions to the housing crisis and public land for public good, not luxury towers and segregated housing.
Please sign up here to speak on Monday 2/29 at 5:30 and share your support for A People’s Proposal for E 12th. We are the only agenda item, so enter “1” where it asks for the agenda number. You can also cede your time to another speaker. (Remember to print out your confirmation page and bring it with you.)
Help us keep the public pressure up by calling or emailing Council Members, or contacting them on Twitter or Facebook!
