Oakland Response to Mehserle Verdict - Community Gathering: photos (1 of 3)
The Oakland General Assembly for Justice for Oscar Grant called for a community gathering in the intersection at 14th and Broadway at 6pm on the day of the Mehserle verdict.

Should Oil Lobbyists Write and Implement California's Environmental Laws?
The MLPA was a landmark law signed by Governor Gray Davis in 1999. However, the MLPA Initiative under Schwarzenegger has nothing to do with real marine protection, since oil drilling, water pollution, wave energy projects, habitat destruction and all other human uses of the ocean other than fishing have been completely taken off the table. The panels that designate marine reserves are overseen by oil industry, marina development, real estate and other corrupt corporate interests....
