DESCRIPTION:We need the community's support to defend The Village and demand that the 
 city stop interfering! The city has nurtured the housing crisis by 
 prioritizing developers and gentrifiers and we are taking a stand to save 
 this place! Share this event and invite your folks!\n\nA network of Oakland 
 community members, both unhoused and homeful, took over Marcus Garvey Park, 
 a public plot of land at 36th Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way in 
 West Oakland, moving in small homes, a hot shower, a healing clinic, and 
 other services — declaring The Village a people’s encampment for those 
 who need housing and basic needs and services.\n\nWe are demonstrating our 
 power to provide what the city cannot to its most vulnerable residents. 
 After continuous police harassment, DPW is now threatening to evict 
 residents who were finally given an opportunity to have safe, consistent 
 housing. We need everyone to come to TUESDAY's CITY COUNCIL MEETING to show 
 their support for The Village and to tell the city to BACK OFF! \n\nThey 
 want to destroy people's homes and property, uproot the edible garden, take 
 away the public bathroom we had to provide due to their lack of caring and 
 send people back out into the rain and we need to let them know we will not 
 stand for it! Now is the time to push back. Fill the meeting, make a ruckus 
 and come to The Village on Thursday to defend public land being used to 
 benefit the entire community. \n\nAre you an Oakland resident? Contact your 
 local supervisor today and let them know what you think.\n\n---\n\nPubic 
 works posted a notice at The Village on Monday, January 30 saying they will 
 clear everything out of Marcus Garvey park on Thursday, February 2. 
 \n\nEveryone head to city hall on Tuesday to tell city council to back the 
 fuck off.\n\n#HomelessnessIsNotACrime\n
