Oh snap! We’re gonna kick it off with hors d’ouvres and beverages, fundraiser-style. Will there be beer? Yes! Will there be wine? Yes!! Will there be non-alcoholic beverages? Yes!!!
And what are we asking from you? Your attendance, your good cheer, and your open wallet — because let’s face it, this is a fundraiser!
Let’s get down to discuss local politics, play party games, and raise money for the incredible Oakland Justice Coalition so that the OJC can pay for canvassers, window signs, and all the good stuff that makes for a winning grassroots political campaign.
We’re looking to put three ballot initiatives to the vote in November, and we need contributions to support our efforts. Those initiatives are for strong renters protections, a citizen-controlled police comission with real power, and finally, a higher minimum wage and workers’ scheduling rights.
See you there, social justice warriors!
