 Former Councilmember Wilson Riles Jr., Debates Police Chief Richard Word 
 and Councilwoman Nancy Nadel on Measure Y, the November ballot Initiative 
 that puts  funding police ahead of funding program at the Metropolitan 
 Greater Oakland Democratic Club meeting on Endorsements for the upcoming 
 election.  -------------------------------------  Oakland, CA – Wilson 
 Riles Jr, a former Councilmember, who has been prominent in the “No on 
 Measure Y” Campaign, will be debating Police Chief Richard Word and 
 Councilwoman Nancy Nadel on Measure Y, the November ballot initiative in 
 Oakland that puts funding police ahead of funding programs, at The 
 Claremont House on Thursday, October 21 at 8 PM. This will be an 
 endorsement meeting organized by the Metropolitan Greater Oakland 
 Democratic Club.   The “NO on Measure Y” campaign, headed by the 
 Education Not Incarceration (ENI)Coalition, along with Oakland local groups 
 and concerned community members, such as Councilwoman Desley Brooks, the 
 Oakland Education Association, ILWU 10 and SEIU 616 is currently mobilizing 
 to defeat Measure Y, a November ballot initiative that will direct 60% of 
 newly raised taxes to hire more police officers in Oakland.  “Increasing 
 police presence within our city will not curb violence nor make anyone 
 safer,” said Aaron Shurman, local Oakland Organizer and a member of the 
 Education Not Incarceration.   “True violence prevention begins by 
 investing in the people of our communities,” said Wilson Riles Jr. “We 
 know that what builds strong, safe communities are the investments we make 
 in education and other basic social services,” he added.  No on Measure Y 
 Campaign outreach is held Saturdays meeting at ACORN's (Association of 
 Community Organizations for Reform Now) office at 3166 Fruitvale Avenue for 
 community outreach beginning at 10AM. For more information, please call
