“Equality demands dignity. And dignity demands a job and a paycheck that lasts through the week.”
“When you have mass unemployment in the Negro community it’s called a social problem. When you have mass unemployment in the white community it’s called a depression”
“We refuse to believe the bank of justice is bankrupt”
— Martin Luther King, Jr—–
Join the Anti Police-Terrorism Project (APTP) for a MLK day march that reclaims the spirit of King and celebrates his legacy of resistance!
There will be performances, speakers, resource booths, face painting, crafts and more!
This is a family-friendly event and a celebration of King’s legacy, Black Lives and the struggle for social justice.
We will gather at the plaza outside of Oscar Grant Station (Fruitvale) at 11 AM. There will be performances, speakers, resource booths, face painting, crafts and more! From there we will march to Coliseum City connecting the dots between police terrorism and economic terrorism – meaning the unjust ways that cops kill unarmed Black people as with Oscar Grant and the unjust way Oakland’s development is either pushing Black and Brown people out of the city and/or not hiring Black and Brown Oakland residents to facilitate or benefit from the new development as with the Coliseum City project.
