DESCRIPTION:On Thursday, October 6 at 2:30pm Communities United for Restorative Youth 
 Justice (CURYJ)  and Mujeres Unidas y Activas (MUA),  are co-sponsoring The 
 Grassroots Global Justice Alliance's 8th Membership Assembly march.  The 
 event will be from 2:30 - 6PM PST.  \n\nThis march is part of Dream Beyond 
 Bars Campaign that demands the County to commit to diverting $300 million, 
 ($30 million over 10 years)  away from the violent and ineffective systems 
 of youth incarceration and probation, and instead, invest in infrastructure 
 for holistic community supervision that gives Oakland youth opportunities 
 to heal, grow, and thrive. As recent shootings have claimed the lives of 
 multiple young Oakland and Berkeley residents, Thursday’s event is an 
 opportunity to decry the inefficiency of current policing methods and 
 demand structural change. \nThe  event will include a flash mob influenced 
 by Chilean Feminists  and will close with a dinner and rally at the 
 Chinatown Resilience Hub.  Participants are encouraged to bring flags, 
 banners, signs and chants.\n\nPartners also include the following:\n- Asian 
 Pacific Environmental Network (APEN)\n- Arab Resource and Organizing Center 
 (AROC)\n- Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice (CURYJ)\n- 
 Mujeres Unidas y Activas (MUA)\n- PODER\n- Communities for a Better 
 Environment (CBE)\n- Chinese Progressive Association (CPA)\n\nRecently, 
 CURYJ was in partnership with the Oakland Department of Violence Prevention 
 for the Town Nights series which have been historically credited in 
 reducing violence in Oakland.  These events resulted in a significant drop 
 in shootings in the specific neighborhoods they were held in the winter of 
 2021.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/10/05/18852406.php
