DESCRIPTION:Monday, December 3, 11 am.\n\nCo-Sponsored by the Landless People’s 
 Alliance and the United Front Against Displacement \n\nResidents living in 
 over  15 RVs in West Oakland, many of whom have lived and worked in the 
 surrounding community for decades, saw their vehicles impounded in mass by 
 the police on October 23rd. Join us in demanding the return of these 
 vehicles and the property inside them. Residents have been living on the 
 street there ever since losing the vehicles, and several have been without 
 their identification papers that remain in the impounded vehicles.  We are 
 also demanding the provision of restroom facilities for the residents of 
 West Oakland in the vicinity of Raimondi Park, several of whom have been 
 camped out there ever since the towings happened.\n\nSeveral protests have 
 been held at City Hall over this incident. Michael Hunt, a representative 
 of the mayor, told -suffering residents that the vehicles should never have 
 been towed. The hold-up in getting the vehicles released is the need for 
 forms from the Oakland Police Department, which is currently under scrutiny 
 because of aggressive towing practices. The vehicles were towed at ODP’s 
 request by Auto Plus Towing, a company covered in a recent expose on 
 corrupt towing practices in Oakland “The East Bay's Tow Hustle. “

 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.\n\nFor more information, contact wewontgo@riseup.net\n
