DESCRIPTION:Join SURJ for a creative action in downtown Oakland in conjunction with the 
 APTP call to Resist Fascism & Reclaim MLK - 120 Hours of Direct Action. 
 Gather at Oakland City Hall/Oscar Grant Plaza at 9:00 am.\n\nWe'll expose 
 Mayor Libby Schaaf's refusal to address police terror in Oakland. Under 
 Libby’s watch, the Oakland Police Dept. has murdered eight Black people 
 in and around Oakland. Yet, she has not denounced even one of these 
 killings. White supremacy has no place in Oakland. The police who committed 
 these acts and those involved in the police department sex scandal have 
 faced no prosecution and remain completely unaccountable for their racist 
 actions. Meanwhile, Libby has increased OPD’s budget, AND she appointed a 
 new police chief without any community input, contrary to Measure LL, which 
 was passed by Oakland voters. In addition, SURJ and our community partners 
 are calling out Libby’s pro-developer policies that have displaced 
 thousands of Oaklanders, especially Black and Brown community 
 members.\n\nAs we work to hold our local officials accountable, we believe 
 now is the time to express our outrage over Donald Trump’s agenda and its 
 open threats towards communities of color. We call on Libby to reject this 
 agenda, not just in words but with bold action. We refuse to stand idly by 
 in the shadow of a potential Muslim registry, the deportations of millions 
 of migrants, a government run by corporate interests, and the continued 
 police terror wreaked upon Black and Brown communities across the US. We 
 wish we could say that Oakland is poised to serve as an oasis where no one 
 is affected by the draconian, racist policies of the incoming Trump 
 administration. However, the record of Mayor Schaaf does not give us 
 confidence that Oakland's communities of color will be immune to their 
 effects. This is why we as SURJ feel that it is critical to disrupt 
 business as usual, whenever and wherever necessary. \n\nAs SURJ, we are 
 lifting up these demands: \n-End police terror in Oakland and across the 
 Bay Area\n-Development without displacement of Black and Brown 
 communities\n-End the displacement caused by corporate coaxing of local 
 government\n-Denounce Trump’s agenda with bold action, not just 
 words\n-Maintain a sanctuary city ensuring real protections for 
 undocumented people\n-Refuse to cooperate with any attempted Muslim 
 registry\n-Maintain healthcare for all\n-Fight for the lives of queer and 
 trans people, especially Black and Brown trans women\n
