AFFIRMATIVE RESISTANCE TO
San Leandro Paramilitarization & Terro
Join San Leandro SAFE in Organizing an Affirmative Strategy to Demand the Changes We Need in Our City
Bring your solutions to this meeting and/or get involved. Some ideas might be:
- DEMAND THE CHANGE WE NEED: Wasting money on paramilitarization means we don’t have resources our community needs to thrive. What do do want instead? Living wages, education, housing, roads, innovation? Let’s set a positive agenda for San Leandro.
- SHADOW REPORT ON SAN LEANDRO POLICING: The San Leandro Police Department presents its own list of “accomplishments” annually to the City Council. It’s time the community created its own report back for the Council, documenting our opposition to:
- (SLPD) profiling/harassment of people of color and other groups
- Police shootings: 3 shootings of people of color in 3 months
- SLPD slandering the life of Latino SLHS/SLAM graduate homicide victim
- SLPD militarization, including BearCat & military-grade weapons
- Increased surveillance on residents and those under no suspicion
- Increased police presence in schools, including more police, creating dossiers on students starting in elementary school, and attempts to divert education funds from classrooms to the Police budget, taking education from our children
- STOP MARKETING OF MILITARY VEHICLES AS MEDICAL VEHICLES. Join San Leandro SAFE’s petition to get red crosses off military vehicles marketed to our cities!
