April 7 Response Coalition

A coalition including the ILWU and other Labor Groups, PUEBLO (the
city's foremost police watchdog group), the Green Party of Alameda
County, the People's Nonviolent Response Committee, and others, is
preparing a formal response to the violence instigated by the Oakland
Police Department at the Port of Oakland on Monday, April 7. A formal
list of coalition partners and demands is not yet complete. More
information will be posted in this space as appropriate. In the
meantime, Rebecca Kaplan, Kenny Mostern, and Laura Wells of the
Green Party County Council have put forward A Proposal to Create an
Oakland Peace Force. Your comments are appreciated.
