Special Berkeley Hearing on Urban Shield:
The Berkeley City Council will be voting on the city’s participation in Urban Shield.
On Tuesday May 16 more than 200 people turned out to the Berkeley City Council in anticipation of the Council’s vote on whether or not to continue Berkeley’s participation in Urban Shield. After waiting six hours for the agenda item to be heard and after giving powerful testimony, we were told that the Council once again decided to postpone the vote. The coalition and supporters staged a walkout to show the Council that we won’t stand for this kind of manipulation.
LET’S TURN OUT STRONGER AND MORE ORGANIZED!
We want to redouble our efforts at the upcoming meeting in showing the Berkeley City Council that they need to stand on the side of the people and not on the side of militarization and oppression.
In the meantime, please call and email the mayor and Council people to urge them to vote No To Urban Shield!
