DESCRIPTION:Racism and oppression is out of control in the city of Oakland. Recently, a 
 transgender woman, Brandy Martell, was murdered in front of her friends. 
 Not only has the police and city council been ineffective in stopping 
 crime, they also use it to cover their tracks. The unchecked power of the 
 police smashed the Occupy movement, regularly abuse youth of color, and 
 murder unarmed people.\n\nRecently, the OPD murdered another unarmed youth, 
 Alan Blueford, who was weeks away from graduating from Skyline High 
 School.\n\nWhether it be police brutality or the murder of the oppressed, a 
 movement needs to be built to stop violence. We must demand justice from a 
 police department that is out of control and the city council that protects 
 them. Join us for our panel discussion about how to build a movement that 
 can unite the people of Oakland to win justice and take down all systems of 
 oppression.\n\nSPEAKERS: \n\n-Adam and Jeralynn Blueford, The parents of 
 Alan Blueford\n\n-Jack Bryson has been an outspoken activist against police
