On Saturday Jan 17 the Berkeley City Council will be holding a special meeting to discuss “Improving Police/Community Relations.” This meeting will be held at the Ed Roberts Campus, a community facility for disabled people.
We demand an end to the war on black lives! Berkeley Police regularly profile black people with disabilities! Black disabled people have died in Berkeley Police custody!
About the organizers:
We are a group of mostly white, mostly fat, mostly disabled, mostly queer activists. We are responding to a call from the Anti Police-Terror Project (https://www.facebook.com/
Everyone is welcome.
We will be occupying space outside the front and back doors from 9 AM – 11 AM, longer for folks who want to stay. We will be supporting those who are actually speaking during the public comment parts of the meeting, so it is not our goal to shut down this meeting, but to be a steady presence. We will be silent, and our appearance and tone will be militant and disciplined.
9 AM.
Ed Roberts Campus – 3075 Adeline Street, Berkeley, CA 94703
