DESCRIPTION:May Day is the traditional holiday of the working class, the oppressed, and 
 the rebellious. It is a day to celebrate our collective power against 
 exploitation, capitalism, and control. This Friday, May 1st, 2015, we want 
 to start the day off the right way.\n\nOakland is seeing an unprecedented 
 wave of gentrification creeping in from every direction. The rich have 
 begun colonizing North Oakland, West Oakland, and Downtown. Their tech 
 buses, their pricey cafes, and their luxury apartments have begun to appear 
 with alarming frequency. This May Day, we will deliver a simple message to 
 these colonizers during their morning commute.\n\nStarting at 7:30 AM and 
 lasting until 9:30 AM, we call on everyone to converge at the MacArthur 
 BART station to interrupt the morning commute. The tech shuttle buses for 
 Facebook, Google, and Apple all stop outside the BART station on 40th 
 Street, below the freeway. We will converge in front of these buses, on the 
 platforms of the station, and in front of the BART gates to spread our 
 message.\n\nWe call on everyone affected by gentrification to make banners, 
 bring megaphones, and prepare words or speeches to deliver to these 
 colonizers. Tell them what you have been thinking, what you have been 
 seeing, what you have been feeling. Let them know that they are not 
 welcome, that their high-priced world is not welcome, and their terrible 
 world of surveillance and alienation must end. Bring all of your 
 creativity, joy, and anger to the streets. Together, we can deliver a clear 
 and undeniable message.\n\nOakland is a people's town!\n
