DESCRIPTION:Join SURJ for a human billboard and flyering at Rockridge BART in 
 conjunction with the APTP call to Resist Fascism & Reclaim MLK - 120 Hours 
 of Direct Action. \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
