Caravan For Justice Kickoff @ Oscar Grant Plaza

Caravan For Justice Kickoff @ Oscar Grant Plaza
Oct 3 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

We are in a state of emergency. Law enforcement violence against black and brown communities is increasing at an alarming rate, and we need to be ready to respond.

At an early age we learn how to prepare for emergencies and natural disasters. We learn how to put out fires, how to board up our homes, or how to drop under a desk. Communities of color now need training on how to respond to more frequent incidents of violence both on the streets and inside of jails and prisons.

So the Ella Baker Center, in partnership with the ACLU of California, is organizing a #CaravanForJustice from October 3-10 that will travel throughout the state to mobilize communities against police violence and spread awareness about the Mobile Justice CA app.

The caravan willl launch at a rally in Oakland on Saturday, October 3 from 2-4 pm at Oscar Grant Plaza. The rally, co-sponsored by the Anti Police-Terror Project and Black Lives Matter Bay Area, will feature testimonials from Oscar Grant’s uncle, as well as from family members of victims of police violence in the United Kingdom, who are joining the caravan.

Come out and learn how you can get involved in local and statewide work to end police violence in California! RSVP here.

During stops in 9 counties throughout the state, the #CaravanForJustice will:

Educate community members about how to use the Mobile Justice CA app
Gain support for the Racial and Identity Profiling Act of 2015 (AB 953)
Highlight the presence of regional Justice Teams for Truth and Reinvestment
Engage people in a global conversation about police violence

Join us and be part of a movement in motion to end law enforcement violence.
