DESCRIPTION:All progressive people, allies of the black, indigenous and other oppressed 
 peoples:\n\nAs we get close to the celebration of Columbus Day, many cities 
 have opted to celebrate indigenous peoples day, recognizing that Columbus 
 carried out genocide against the peoples of these so-called Americas.\n\nWe 
 will study the origins of US wealth in the enslavement of African people 
 and the stolen land of indigenous populations. \nThen, we will do our final 
 outreach push for the events for A Day in Solidarity with African 
 People.\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\nEmail oakland [at]
