Oakland City Council: Oppose DAC Authorization and upport Richmond Eminent Domain Statement.

The Oakland City Council will be considering two controversial actions: Giving the City Administrator authorization to select a new Domain Awareness Center contractor in light of SAIC’s ineligibility to be that contractor because of its nuclear weapons testing involvement; and issuing a statement in support of Richmond’s efforts to help homeowners with underwater mortgages using principal reduction with the threat of eminent domain.

The former needs to be defeated. A large coalition is organizing (see the rally at 5:30).  The latter needs to be supported. Strike Debt Bay Area, ACCE and other organizations have come together to make this happen.
