We need the voices, bodies and the love of the local community to stop developers from destroying the vision of a successful African counterculture movement. AfrikaTown has provided the community with fresh fruits and vegetables, a comfortable environment to interact with one another, barbecues and a place to gain political awareness. We are asking for folks to show up, bring your bodies, signs and stand in solidarity with one of the last black-ran community spaces in West Oakland. With your help, AfrikaTown has the power to prevent the complete displacement of black and brown residents in West Oakland.
Join us on April 3rd as EARLY AS YOU CAN, as we take a stand and say “NO MORE!”
There will be food, performances and knowledge on ways to get involved in the protection of AfrikaTown and the movement.
Please stand in solidarity, and spread the word in a discreet manor, we do not want the landlord to get word of our plans.
We appreciate your support and discretion.
Asante,
