 Actions\n\n--------------------\n\nWHO:	  Thousands of bay area community

 CA: On Wednesday, the day after what is already a historically massive 
 turnout election concludes, thousands of people will gather in Oakland to 
 raise the message to Count Every Vote, Protect Democracy, and to celebrate 
 the unprecedented participation in our elections. \n\nRegardless of what is 
 known of national or local results, Faith, Labor, Youth, Climate, Racial 
 Justice, and many others will come together under the Bay Resistance banner 
 to join the national call that the people should decide their leaders, and 
 every vote should be counted. Organizers say that if the president refuses 
 to concede power if voted out, or bad actors interfere with votes or 
 threaten democracy in any other way, escalating actions will commence in 
 the Bay Area and across the country until the country. \n\nBay Resistance 
 and it's partner organizations have trained hundreds of people in the run 
 up to the election, preparing to uphold the will of the people, and calling 
 on elected and community leaders to join a pledge to uphold democracy. This 
 action comes after a giant street mural reading "Choose Democracy, Stop a 
 Coup" was painted in downtown Oakland on Thursday, and dozens of protestors 
 visited the homes of Twitter and Facebook executives on Sunday demanding 
 they not allow their platforms to be used to undermine the overwhelming 
 will of the voters. \n\nNovember 4th actions will also take place in San 
 Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and cities around the county as part of 
 the https://protecttheresults.com network. On November 7th, San Francisco 
 will host a Count Every Vote march at 12 pm. 
 \n\n--------------------\n\nCommunity leaders formed Bay Resistance in 2016 
 to organize Bay Area communities to resist the Trump administration and 
 defend our communities, our movements, and our planet. Some of us are 
 targeted by Trump and his hateful policies. Many of us are immigrant, 
 Muslim, South Asian, Black, Jewish, women, workers, queer, seniors & people 
 with disabilities. All of us commit to loving, defending, and standing up 
 for each other.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/11/03/18838076.php
