DESCRIPTION:\n\nOAKLAND GREENS OPEN MEETING\nProduced by Don Macleay and Vicente Cruz 
 II\n\nCome and discuss Oakland’s future in an open forum!  This meeting 
 is an open meeting to discuss the proposal to initiate an Oakland 
 Progressive Alliance.  The public is invited to come and discuss our 
 City’s future.  The forum is intended to facilitate discussion.  The 
 proposal is to initiate a progressive alliance in time for the City of 
 Oakland elections for 2012.  Four candidates for City of Oakland Council 
 and School Board seats have already declared themselves:\n\nDon 
 Macleay\nCandidate for Council — District 1\n\nVincente Cruz \nCandidate 
 for Oakland Unified School Board — District 3\n\nRandy 
 Menjivar\nCandidate for Council — District 7\n\nTheresa 
 Anderson\nCandidate for Council — At Large\n\nAll four candidates will be 
 present to discuss their shared vision for our City.  They offer 
 alternatives in Oakland’s local elections of November 2012.  They will 
 also be making a call to like-minded progressives in the community to 
 discuss making a common cause.  This includes an invitation to the public 
 in general and other independent progressive organizations.  It’s high 
 time to gather and discuss the future of the City of Oakland.  Also present 
 in the open forum will be:\n\nAndrea Pritchett\nCopWatch\n\nWilson 
 Riles\nOakland Community Action Network\n\nLaura Wells\nCalifornia Greens 
 Party\n\nLarry Shoup and Shawn McDougal\nCommunity Democracy 
 Project\n\nOakland is in crisis in its youth, in its schools, in its 
 government.  An active, progressive leadership is needed.  The Oakland 
 Greens are proposing a platform based on the personal ethics and 
 independence of the individual candidates coupled with a commitment to 
 reform Oakland’s institutions, especially its budget, its Council, and 
 its law enforcement.  The Oakland Greens offer their efforts to the 
 community and make this proposal for an Oakland Progressive Alliance to the 
 community.  They believe very strongly that a full slate of candidates, a 
 program that covers the issues well, and a political alternative that can 
 guide our City in a much needed new direction will come from the whole 
 community.  This is an invitation to join, to lead, to mold, and to run for 
 office. All individuals and organizations welcome!\n\nThe forum discussions 
 begins at 6:00 pm and at 8:00 pm — enjoy a pot luck dinner to facilitate 
 continuing discussions!\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  
 28th  Street\n\nDonations are accepted\n
