DESCRIPTION:March and Candlelight Vigil to uphold the resistance of the African 
 community and to remember the victims of the failed policy of police 
 containment. \n\n26 year old Lovelle Mixon, according to news reports, shot 
 and killed four Oakland police officers before they ended his life. He was 
 a victim of the colonial policies of a system in which he could look 
 forward to being shot by the police or spending the majority of his life in 
 prison. \n\nJust like the resistance of Nat Turner and Gabriel Prosser, 
 enslaved Africans once vilified and today considered heroes, African people 
 in Oakland have a right to struggle against this government-imposed terror. 
 Like the missiles launched from Gaza and the Iraqi resistance forces, 
 African people will rightfully fight to free themselves against oppression 
 in every form.\n\nWe call on the citizens of Oakland to unite with the 
 demands raised by the Uhuru Movement for genuine economic development to 
 the African working class community, for reparations for the families of 
 victims of police violence, for a community controlled police review board 
 with subpoena powers and for an immediate end to these failed public 
 policies of police containment which have brought so much suffering to the 
 African community for so long.\n\nWe call on Oakland citizens to join us in 
 rejecting the knee-jerk criminalization of the oppressed African community 
 by the city and state governments, and in recognizing that in order to go 
 forward as a city we must unite in the quest for economic and social 
 justice for the African community.\n\n\nCome out to a march and vigil to to 
 stand against the brutal, long-standing, publicly-supported policies of 
 police containment of the Oakland Police Department and to unite as a city 
 in the quest for economic and social justice for the African community.\n
