DESCRIPTION:Hosted by:  The City of Oakland  Oakland Police Department  
 Brother2Brother/Sister2Sister, Inc.  East Bay Music Under Development    On 
 Tuesday August 2, 2005 from 7pm to 9pm, Downtown Oakland’s Jackson Street 
 with its brownstones and tree-lined lakeside views will play host to the 
 first annual “Jackson Street Family Block Party!”  Research shows that 
 neighborhoods are safer when residents know each other.  This is your 
 invitation to strengthen your neighborhood by participating in this Block 
 Party that will bring your neighbors together.  Each registered block party 
 will receive a visit from police officers, fire fighters, or other city 
 staff to talk with neighbors and to pass out give-away items.  
 Brother2Brother/Sister2Sister, Inc. is a community-based organization 
 holistically serving people living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic/terminal 
 illnesses plus the larger community with prevention and education efforts.  
 Since B2B/S2S projects began in 2001, we have served over 10,000 people 
 with one-to-one support, local social gatherings, care/treatment referrals, 
 graphic/video/WWWeb design campaigns, Yahoo! Groups with Internet sites and 
 email servers, and outreach at bay area community-level events.  We’ve 
 done a lot.  None of it has been done alone.  It truly does take the entire 
 village to meet the needs.  Local merchants are participating by provided 
 raffle items, food and drink.  A variety of Community service organizations 
 will be on hand to inform residents of important social services available 
 locally.  Speakers have been invited to highlight the importance of 
 anti-violence efforts, good citizenship, and community policing.  Mellow 
 live and Deejay musical entertainment provided by local artists produced by 
 Matt Price’s East Bay Music Under Development.  Residents are being asked 
 to play a more active role in our own and each other’s safety.  A 
 petition will be circulated to establish zoning of Jackson Street from 14th 
 to 17th streets and the 15th Street Corridor for residential parking 
 stickers, which currently save residents thousands of dollars annually.  
 This signing effort has failed several times in the past for lack of 
 support.  The Jackson Street Block Party! is being coordinated by Mr. Wil 
 Oliver, longtime Bay Artist for Social Change, along with Mr. Matthew 
 Price, Music Producer.  \n
