Bye Libby — Freedom Now Banner Hang at Oakland City Hall

by Dave Id
Following the recent wave of demonstrations nationwide after the police murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, a call went out for Freedom Now protests on July 21 targeting the support infrastructure for police oppression, especially police "unions" for their constant and unequivocal defense of cops accused of brutality. In Oakland, while speakers were addressing a rally in Oscar Grant plaza, activists with ladders hung a large banner between the two primary columns at the main entrance to Oakland City Hall. The banner read "#Bye Libby," in reference to the rising anger surrounding the mayoralty of Libby Schaaf and the new recall effort to remove her from office.
