Distrust in Oakland City Council Deepens As Community Demands for Investment in People-Centered Services Are Ignored

Yesterday, Oakland City Council members rammed through a secret budget proposal without prior notice to their council colleagues nor the constituents they are elected to represent. Despite the testimony of hundreds of Oakland voters who participated in the June 23rd online meeting, five council members chose to push through a budget devoid of public support and in direct opposition to the thousands of people in Oakland and across the country calling on governments to divest from police forces and invest in programs that create real community safety.

On Oakland Experimenting with Fascism and Impending Martial Law

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Department (ACSD) announced the 8pm-5am curfew has been lifted. Make no mistake—they didn’t end the curfew because it was ‘mission accomplished’ as Sheriff Ahern claims. They ended it because of a growing social movement against normalizing violent crackdowns of civil unrest; they knew the more they tried to silence us, the louder we’d be.

We want to take this opportunity to clarify our position.
