Economic Justice, Not Police Containment in Oakland!

Attend this rally of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement, under the leadership of the African working class-led Uhuru Movement to discuss Oakland Mayor Ronald Dellums' plan for more police officers on the streets of Oakland, a military solution to an economic problem. We will present a history of Oakland from the Black Power Movement to the current reality of drugs, gentrification, poverty and oppression.

In Oakland, one in five families live on $15,000 a year or less. Communities in East and West Oakland that have been stripped of any viable ability to make a living. The U.S. imposed illegal drug economy creates enormous profits for those on top while impoverished Africans are forced into a penny-ante drug trade and face death or prison. The answer is not more militarized police but genuine economic development – massive infusions of capital equal to what goes into the white communities.
