For far too long, our political leaders have failed to represent Oakland’s true values. It is time for the Oakland Left to unite, recruit our own candidates and build political power to achieve meaningful change.

At our last meeting we discussed:

1) A possible ballot initiative as an organizing strategy,
2) The process for selecting candidates,
3) Developing a progressive campaign platform
4) Which races to focus on.

Oakland Alliance seeks to unite the progressive movement in Oakland behind a slate of candidates who will challenge the institutional power structure that has failed to represent the interests of the people over the powerful. Come and connect with dozens of organizations interested in building long-term political power and holding our elected officials accountable to the needs of their constituents.

There will be coffee and snacks provided.
