Does this video put to rest myths about racial makeup of those vandalizing in Oakland? (video/quicktime 8.9MB) There has been a lot of talk since the "riots" of last Wednesday that those doing most of the property destruction were stereotypical white anarchists, or that naive Oakland African Americans were led by white anarchists into committing property destruction. Unfortunately, this is the angle that the corporate media has pushed and then many in the African American community with no direct knowledge believe what they hear on TV or in rumor mills. Those who were actually there know what went d...

Rally and March for Justice for Oscar Grant, Oakland, 1/14/09: photos 
At Oakland City Hall, the Coalition Against Police Execution organized another Wednesday Rally for Justice for Oscar Grant. This time Oscar Grant's murderer, BART police officer Johannes Mehserle, is in custody after having been arrested for murder yesterday. Also, organizers made plans for a march this time; last week, the march to downtown from Fruitvale BART was relatively impromptu. Today's march proceeded down 14th Street to Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff's office, where ...

Oakland Police came out in force but the march that followed the speech making - was very peaceful. The thousands that gathered on this historic day - sent a clear message to Law Enforcement - that ...

Authorities and corporate media grossly exaggerate Oakland ‘riot’ reports So last week after the demonstrations for Oscar Grant, a 22 year unarmed, non resistant father executed in plain view of hundreds by a cowardly BART police officer,Johannes Mehserle who was finally arrested last night after two weeks of us waiting and protesting. we had to endure endless news reports and commentary most likely fed from police accounts and echoed by newspaper reporters who were not even on the scene that suggested that the city was burning and people were out of control. These...

Call for Anarchists to March Today for Oscar Grant: the Future is Being Written The police want a fight tonight to demonstrate their power. Today, the march can demonstrate a different kind of power - what it looks like when communities come together to assert their vision of an end to police violence backed by a system of white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, heterosexism and the state. Together, we can do it. But we need to work together and be united. Let us bring forward the new world that exists in our hearts....
