DESCRIPTION:This invitation is for the March on Monday,the culmination of the #96Hours 
 of direct actions over the MLK Day weekend. We are marching from Oscar 
 Grant Plaza, 14th & Broadway, to the Bay St Mall in Emeryville.\n\nOver the 
 last year, in the Bay Area alone, there have been dozens of police murders. 
 In San Francisco, we have most recently seen the brutal execution of Mario 
 Woods, in addition to police beating a disabled man in front of the Twitter 
 building and racist text messages exchanged between SFPD on-duty 
 officers.\n\nIn Oakland, we have seen 8 Black men murdered by police since 
 only June of 2015. In fact, a recent graphic by Mapping Police Violence 
 shows that in 2015, Oakland ranks third in police killings per million 
 people in 60 of America's largest cities.

 are the shock troops of gentrification. Mayors give them a mandate: make 
 this city appealing to developers by any means necessary. City Councils 
 fund police and constantly seek to expand their numbers and their powers. 
 As a result, people of color are being pushed out of cities at 
 unprecedented rates, by an out of control rental market, increased police 
 occupation and terrorism against communities of color, as well as 
 crackdowns on those who dare protest these unjust policies.\n\nA year ago, 
 people across the country began taking to the streets in unprecedented 
 numbers; storming shopping centers, blocking streets and highways, 
 interrupting cultural events and public transit. And the people SHUT IT 
 DOWN. We SHUT IT DOWN because there is a state-sponsored war on Black, 
 Brown, and other marginalized peoples in the United States. WE SHUT DOWN 
 BUSINESS-AS-USUAL because business-as-usual is an out-of-control epidemic 
 of police terror.\n\nLast year, in partnership with comrades and allies, 
 APTP launched 96 Hours of Direct Action in the Bay Area, and answered a 
 national call to Reclaim King’s Radical Legacy which we did through a 
 march that brought over 7,000 people into the streets of Oakland. We 
 believe it is important for our movement to draw on King’s legacy to 
 ground ourselves, to reinforce our conviction and confidence in the tactics 
 and strategy of disruptive direct action.\n\nA year later, while we are 
 starting to have an impact, we also see that we have a long long way to go. 
 So this Martin Luther King Day weekend, Oakland’s Anti Police-Terror 
 Project* is calling on you to help us SHUT IT DOWN - again. Together, we 
 will unleash the vast creativity and organizing capacity of our communities 
 to produce a spectrum of disruptive and creative activity. In the spirit of 
 MLK, we want these to actions to meaningfully interrupt business as usual 
 whether that be with direct action, teach-ins, concerts or prayer vigils 
 and to do so with action logic that links our resistance to fighting 
 racism, economic injustice, and imperialism. We want you to plan these 
 actions independently, but together we will coordinate collective support 
 for these actions through a spokescouncil so that they have maximal support 
 and impact.\n\nPlease visit the 96 Hours facebook event page: Updates, 
 meeting agendas, calendar, and other info will be posted:

 that allows Black, Brown and other people of color to remain in San 
 Francisco and Oakland.\n\nReminder this is a call out for affinity groups
