DESCRIPTION:The newly emerging "Interfaith Committee in Solidarity with Black Lives 
 Matter--Bay Area" is hosting a vigil and candle-lit funeral procession on 
 the Friday afternoon preceding Martin Luther King Day weekend. \n\nThis 
 action will call on Oakland city officials and residents alike to see, 
 connect with, and mourn the Black and Brown lives lost to police violence 
 as well as the losses born by communities of color in Oakland as a result 
 of over-policing, displacement, and gentrification. It will also put City 
 Hall on notice that they can expect continued pressure from Oakland's faith 
 community to prioritize Black and Brown lives by reallocating money toward 
 affordable housing and alternatives to over-policing.\n\nSchedule: \n\n4pm 
 Reflective time  with the coffins (Join a Jewish shiva, Buddhist 
 meditation, or other rituals, or just have some quiet time with coffins 
 symbolizing those killed by police in the Bay area this year)\n\n4:30pm 
 Short program featuring spoken word, hip hop, as well as prayer\n5pm 
 Candle-lit funeral procession, followed by altar-building\n\nWe will walk 
 approximately 3/4 mile together. This is an elder- and child-friendly 
 event, and our pace will reflect that. A transport vehicle is available for 
 those who cannot walk that far.\n\n*** This action is a response to the 
 callout for 96 Hours of Direct Action to Reclaim King's Radical 
 Legacy.\n\nhttp://www.facebook.com/events/738319126299522/\n\n
