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. The police continue to make arrests at each demonstration.  Many 
 arrestees 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\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. \n\n\n
