DESCRIPTION:The United Front Against Displacement and the West Oakland Wood St 
 Community will rally on February 7th at 5 pm to condemn the Oakland State 
 of the City Address (1000 Oak St, Oakland, CA 94607).  \n\nThe City is in a 
 terrible state. The State of the City Address is an opportunity for Mayor 
 Schaff and the city administrators to lie about the horrendous conditions 
 of the people of Oakland. The City of Oakland has invested millions in 
 “managing” and sweeping homeless people out of site and done little to 
 provide services, housing or employment opportunities to the thousands of 
 dispossessed people of Oakland. Conservative estimates put over 4000 people 
 on the streets of Oakland every night, actual figures could be twice as 
 high! This does not account for the thousands more that are housing 
 insecure. With the rising cost of housing, many are forced to live in cars, 
 trailers or with friends and extended family.\n\nThis situation demands 
 that  people take action and organize to end homelessness.\n\nThe City of 
 Oakland has consistently failed the West Oakland Wood st community and has 
 instead chosen to collaborate with the surrounding real estate developers 
 that seek to evict the community!\nMayor Schaff''s office has collaborated 
 with Fred B Craves, a SF billionaire to develop an abandoned lot in West 
 Oakland that sits at the heart of the West Oakland Wood st 
 Community.\n\nCraves and he City claim that they plan to build a “Safe 
 Parking” lot on Wood st. What they leave out is that after the lease 
 expires (18 months after its finalized) that Craves intend to develop the 
 land at a profit and leave the community with nothing an nowhere to 
 go!\n\nFred Craves has even enlisted the legal services of the Law Offices 
 of Alan Horowitz, afirm that focuses on evictions and who describe 
 themselves as “The Evictors”.\n\nThis is not a struggle just affecting 
 the West Oakland Wood St community. The City of Oakland, real estate 
 developers and law offices across the city collaborate to displace working 
 people and it is time to fight back!\n\n\n\n\n
