DESCRIPTION:Stop The Tows, We Won't Go! Protest at Oakland City Hall Against Mass 
 Towing of RVs\nMonday, November 5 at 4:30 PM \n\nIn front of City Hall, 
 14th Street between Washington and Broadway\n\nSponsored by United Front 
 Against Displacement, the Landless People's Alliance, and the Here and Now 
 Collective\n\nDecades Long Oakland Residents had the RVs they live in towed 
 in mass on Tuesday, October 23. At least 15 were seized at the time from 
 the area bordering Raimondi Park. In the last two weeks many have been 
 forced to live on the street. Join them in demanding the city return the 
 RVs. \n\nAs police towed the RVs last week, they told several residents 
 “Don’t Let Us See You in Oakland Again.” \n\nThe residents are 
 demanding a return of RV-Homes, an apology from Mayor, and a freeze on the 
 city’s offensive against unhoused people. \n\nGiven minutes to leave 
 their RVs and vans, residents tried to grab what they could before the 
 vehicles were towed. Like refugees fleeing for safety, the RV owners were 
 forced to throw possessions out of their doors and windows onto piles on 
 the sidewalk. Many did not have time to secure key material, including at 
 least one resident, who lost his identity papers in the towing. 
 \n\nFollowing the towing, residents camped out in the surrounding park were 
 warned that OPD would be coming for them in subsequent weeks.\n\nFor a
