DESCRIPTION:HELP CRITICAL RESISTANCE TO PRESSURE DA TOM ORLOFF AND MAYOR RON DELLUMS TO 
 DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST THE THOSE ARRESTED DURING THE OSCAR GRANT 
 PROTESTS! \n\nEarlier this month, over 120 people protesting the execution 
 of Oscar Grant, III, by BART police were arrested and now face a range of 
 charges and people continue to be arressted at each demonstration.  Many 
 are young people of color acting in anger over what has become a consistent 
 pattern of criminalization, abuse and even murder at the hands of Oakland 
 police forces. They now face additional criminalization. \n\nWe know that 
 arresting and imprisoning young people will not address the racial 
 profiling, intimidation, humiliation, and death youth face at the hands of 
 Oakland cops. We need real, long-term solutions to Oakland's problems. Not 
 band-aid fixes aimed at keeping young people quiet and behind bars. 
 \n\nTAKE ACTION! \n\nCALL THE DA AND THE MAYOR’S OFFICES TODAY AND DEMAND 
 THAT THE CHARGES BE DROPPED! \n\nMayor's office: 510-238-3141, District 
 Attorney's office: 510-272-6222 \n\n\nSample Script \n\nI am a resident of 
 Oakland calling to urge Mayor Dellums/ Thomas Orloff to drop all charges 
 against people arrested downtown on Jan 7th and 14th protesting Oscar 
 Grant, III's execution by BART police. I'm asking the Mayor and District 
 Attorney to move ahead urgently to ensure that people protesting the 
 criminalization of Oakland youth are not further criminalized themselves.
