Oakland Against Genocide

The City of Richmond became the first in the nation to pass a resolution affirming solidarity with Palestine against genocide on 10/24. Oakland residents demand that our City do the same, immediately. We are calling upon Oakland City Council to convene a special meeting to pass a resolution against the genocide of the Palestinian people.

November 1-6 we are contacting our City Council using this toolkit: bit.ly/oak4gaza
Tuesday, November 7, 3pm (in person): Direct action at Oakland City Hall. Wear masks. Bring your friends, your organizations, speakers, signs, and best behavior. 4 pm (in person, online): Attend City Council meeting, submit comment.
