The main ask is for the release of all people inside Santa Rita jail. There are 15 confirmed cases of Covid-19. That means in reality there are probably at least 150. Brendon Woods, our Public defender said Alameda County is set to be the next Cook County ( It is not a matter of IF they will get the virus, it’s a matter of WHEN.
The plan is to first let everyone know about the action and make car signs and post on social media signs etc and post making them etc.
On Thu, cars will meet up at Lake Merrit BART around 11:15, drive around the county admin building (the targets are D.A. O’Malley and Sheriff Ahern) then drive to Santa Rita jail.
The people in the jail can hear. Honking horns, playing music, banging gongs and drums – tells them they are not forgotten. Amplified sound would be better of course. Anyone with a portable sound/speaker system.
There are ways for EVERYONE to be a part of this action. Many of our leaders cannot participate due to health concerns even from their cars while many others cannot because they cannot afford to risk their freedom.
We are calling out for any attorneys, paralegals etc to provide legal observer support in a visible, deter the police from issuing tickets or arresting our people kind of way.
