DESCRIPTION:The East Bay Solidarity Network is launching a 4-month anti-policing effort 
 and we're looking for folks to join up! Our first info-session will be on 
 Wednesday, February 4th at 7pm at the Omni Commons, 4799 Shattuck Ave. in 
 Oakland. \n\nHey everyone! The East Bay Solidarity Network is launching a 
 project to challenge police violence and gentrification in Oakland and 
 we're looking for people interested in joining! The project emerges out of 
 folks in East Bay Sol seeking to  answer the question of how to stand in 
 solidarity with people of color and fight for our own liberation. 
 #BlackLivesMatter is about more than police brutality, but rather about 
 calling into question the structures of power that maintain neo-colonialism 
 and white supremacy. Gentrification is a key piece of these structures, a 
 piece that plays a huge role in Oakland.\n\nNewly gentrifying neighborhoods 
 are seeing increased policing, as well as new private security forces. So 
 what does solidarity look like in this political climate? Well, here is our 
 attempt to answer that question. We are calling our friends and community 
 to help us outreach to primarily white and transplant communities to start 
 conversations about police violence, and inform them of alternatives to 
 calling the cops.\n\nThis project will be four months long, and we are 
 asking about 4 hours a week. It will be half reading group/grassroots 
 organizing. Haven't had a lot of organizing experience but looking for a 
 place to start? This is it. If you have any interest or you know someone 
 who would be perfect, let me know!! Our first meeting will be Feb. 4th, 
 7-9:30pm at the Omni Commons, 4799 Shattuck Ave., Oakland. \n
