DESCRIPTION:Please join Moms 4 Housing, Community Ready Corps, the Anti Police-Terror 
 Project, CURYJ, Ella Baker Center, and the People’s Strike at 1225 Oak 
 Street for a rally and action on Tuesday, September 1st at 1 pm.\n\n\nOn 
 September 1st, Moms 4 Housing and dozens of community allies will replace 
 the Board of Supervisors with a Board of SuperMOMS\n\n- Black and Brown 
 mothers who are most impacted by the county housing crisis. \n\nThere has 
 not been a more stark example in recent history of militarized racism in 
 housing than in the saga of Moms 4 Housing.  On January 14, 2020, in a 
 pre-dawn raid of a residential home in Oakland, California, the Alameda 
 County Sheriff's spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to evict women 
 and children from a vacant, speculator-acquired property. Tanks, 
 military-styled officers, drones, robots, a battering ram and assault 
 rifles were used to execute an eviction order on Black women and their 
 children.\n\nIn the months since this brutal act of violence, the housing 
 affordability crisis has only escalated under an unprecedented global 
 pandemic. Thousands of Alameda County families are falling into significant 
 debt and facing the threat of the same militarized eviction tactics that 
 were used on the Moms at the house on Magnolia Street.\n\nMoms 4 Housing 
 and a growing community coalition are calling on the Alameda County Board 
 of Supervisors to invest in homes, not harm. The last thing our community 
 needs right now is an occupying army. Our community needs housing, healing, 
 and rent forgiveness. After voting to give this notoriously racist Sheriff 
 Department a budget increase of over $100 million a year, the ACBOS has 
 cancelled their meeting set for September 1st. We are in a crisis and this 
 failure of leadership is unacceptable.\n\nTHE HOMES NOT HARM AGENDA\n\n1) 
 Defund the Sheriff by 30-50% and reinvest that money in deeply affordable 
 and supportive housing: In these unprecedented times, we need to invest in 
 healing & homes for all, instead of spending half a billion dollars 
 annually to violently remove families from their homes so corporate real 
 estate speculators can continue to expand their portfolios and profits. The 
 BOS vote to increase Ahern’s budget by $106 million/year must also be 
 rescinded.\n\n2) A Moratorium on ALL evictions during the crisis: Not a 
 single eviction should take place during a deadly pandemic. It is cruel, 
 dangerous and must be prevented.\n\n3) Cancellation of all Rent and 
 Mortgage Debt: Keeping people housed - preventing further homelessness - 
 must be a top priority. Thousands of Alameda County residents already lived 
 paycheck to paycheck before the crisis. Struggling renters and homeowners 
 need payment forgiveness and smaller landlords need assistance.\n\n4) 
 Permanent ban on law enforcement carrying out evictions: Law enforcement 
 should have no place in housing. All roles that various police play in 
 housing – from evictions to public housing police forces – must be 
 banned permanently. \n
