The timeline is a tool that remembers, counts, mourns and honors our dead. It is a collaborative effort of documentation over time that makes visible the many resistances that have refused erasure. This refusal itself is a confrontation against state violence. The timeline reflects our insurgent and organized community in Stockton and across the Bay Area and in its detail is reflected the work and tears and blood of many over time. Each vertical line represents a year in the history and present of Hayward and those whose lives were lost in that year, and counted. Based on what we know, we know that there are more lives that have been taken that are still missing here. We invite any names that we have missed and humbly invite corrections to any possible errors.

Running below the timeline are a series of conjunctures marked by the beginning and end of the reign of specific police chiefs of the Stockton Police Department. Also present along the lower lines and within these conjunctures are prominent events, which include moments when specific strategies and practices of policing were introduced or officially sanctioned by the department. This includes the formation of cross-agency task forces including Delta RATT (Regional Auto Theft Team), which includes the police departments of Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, as well as the California Highway Patrol, San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department, San Joaquin County Probation Department, and the San Joaquin County District Attorney. Many of the killings in Stockton and across San Joaquin County occurred at the hands of officers who belong to Delta RATT.

The timeline relies on local knowledges and the circuits of struggle where details and critical information are exchanged and circulated among us. It reflects our ongoing commitment to each other to continue to gather in streets, parks, community centers, taquerias, barbecues, bars and cafes to share what we know and elaborate the strategies and practices of policing, violence, and control that are aimed at us, department by department, program by program, across the state. In this way, we hope to collectively map for ourselves across communities the war that is organized against us as low intensity conflict in service of capital's racial regime. As a project of militant and convivial research this is a collaboration across our many rebellions, insurgencies, and networked moments of care to confront militarization and organize around our own community safety.
