"Bye Libby" Recall Effort Seeks to Push Libby Schaaf Out of Office
Recall of Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf Underway Due to Growing Discontent in City
In front of Oakland City Hall on July 11, Leigh Davenport of the Anti Police-Terror Project announced community activists' intention to recall Mayor Libby Schaaf. Primary among the concerns cited as cause for Schaaf's removal from office are her failures: 1) to address the massive displacement of long-time Oakland residents; 2) to support local youth and job centers; and 3) to hold Oakland police accountable for corruption, sexual exploitation, and those they've killed.
While collecting enough signatures to qualify the recall for the ballot is a tall order, the effort is sincere. The Anti Police-Terror Project has a good-sized committee dedicated to gathering as many signatures as possible and is working with other groups to accomplish the goal.
“The level of discontent is high in the City of Oakland," notes Cat Brooks. "The people in the hills are happy, the developers are happy, but the black and brown and the poor people in the city are sick and tired of being sick and tired."
