DESCRIPTION:All progressive people, allies of the black community:\n\nWe are building A 
 Day in Solidarity with African People right here in Oakland, to be held on 
 Thursday, October 13th as part of a national fundraising campaign to raise 
 $10,000 towards the Uhuru Movement programs.\n\nAt this meeting, we will 
 discuss the economic crisis in terms of a system built on the resources of 
 the peoples of the planet and the growing resistance to colonial occupation 
 and oppression. \n\nAfter that, we will get down to the work to build the 
 events for A Day in Solidarity with African People!\n\nAll around the 
 world, people are taking the pledge of solidarity with reparations, justice 
 and self-determination for AFrican 
 people.\n\nhttp://apscuhuru.org/campaigns/apsd2011/pledge.xhtml\n\nThe 
 problem in Oakland is not the youth or the so-called gangs. The problem in 
 Oakland is the public policy of police containment of the African and 
 Mexican communities where you have military forces with specialized weapons 
 surrounding neighborhoods in East and West Oakland. You have police 
 containment in the face of poverty, unemployment, oppression. You have 
 America's other war.\n\nWe reject a military solution that continues the 
 criminalization of African and Mexican people and call for economic 
 development, justice and reparations! \n\nCome build a public response to 
 the call for a curfew and more gang injunctions. Come build A Day in 
 Solidarity with African People on October 13th. A special event will also 
 take place sponsored by Uhuru Foods on Saturday, October 15th\n\nEmail

 Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee and Cephus
