DESCRIPTION:Soul of Oakland\n \n\n·At Sunday's Oct. 11th, 11am - 1pm Community Drum 
 Call, we will further spell out our goals and objectives. We are going to 
 WIN this fight but its going to take ALL of us working together.\n\nSOUL OF 
 OAKLAND UPDATE!\nThere's been some confusion growing in the Town around the 
 ‪#‎SoulofOakland‬ movements and events.\n\nPoint of Clarity:\n1) 
 There is only one #SoulofOakland movement. We have a platform, strategy 
 coordination, community engagement and drums.\n2) We have contacted the 
 various organizers of Lake protest events scheduled for the upcoming 
 weekends and are building the appropriate coalitions.\n\n3) Our goals 
 are:\n- To make changes in the city of Oakland's public space usage 
 policies\n- To preserve and protect Oakland's cultural heritage including 
 spiritual and religious institutions\n- To highlight and expand the city's 
 artistic and cultural imprint\n- To aid in the development of better 
 policing policies that support the livelihoods and longevity of Oakland's 
 black, brown and other communities of color.\n(Partial list: Full platform 
 to be revealed soon)\n\n#SoulofOakland members have been meeting with 
 Oakland city officials, city staffers, OPD captains, clergy, community 
 leaders and local cultural artists to solve the problems and relieve the 
 frustrations that many of us have regarding the newly enforced policies of 
 Lake Merritt, noise complaints about churches and the protection of 
 artists.\n\nOur 1st political action was a public drum rally and open forum 
 address at City council. Thanks to the community, it was very successful. 
 We are looking forward to working with the appropriate stakeholders in 
 solving some of Oakland's problems. We have just learned that erroneous, 
 outdated signage prohibiting even non-amplified musical instruments at the 
 Lake will be removed TODAY.\n\nAt Sunday's Oct. 11th, 11am - 1pm Community 
 Drum Call, we will further spell out our goals and objectives. We are going 
 to WIN this fight but its going to take ALL of us working 
 together.\n\nLet's make OAKLAND the shining beacon and winning example for 
 the whole country to see. YOU can stop the wheels of gentrification and 
 influence civic policy for the betterment of the community and for the end 
 to destruction of our diverse artistic and cultural heritages. Soul of 
 Oakland\n\nWe started this official Facebook page for that purpose.
