Jona’e Foster leads a chant on the picket line at Parker. She’s in fifth grade l and was looking forward to middle school there. “I’ve been here since I was in TK, for 7 years. I don’t want this school to close.”

It's not okay to fight for those who won't fight for you....

OUSD students facing expulsion still have one more chance and can attend Community Day School. This often allows them to clear their expulsions and graduate.

Unless the board reverses their decision, CDS will close. If that happens, what could be lost?

Imagine if there were no cameras the day #GeorgeFloyd was *murdered*

Reminder of how the police reported it 👇🏽

[Darwin BondGraham @DarwinBondGraha]

Overspending, not lost revenue, accounts for most of Oakland's current budget gap, and the Oakland Police Department is “primarily driving this overspending,” according to a city report.

The Oakland police still have not released the names of the other two CHP officers who shot and killed Erik Salgado back in June in East Oakland.

CHP hasn't said anything about the incident since it happened.

Reminder that FELONS CAN VOTE IN CALIFORNIA AS LONG AS THEY ARE DONE WITH THEIR PAROLE!!

If someone tells you “I can’t vote I’m a felon” I need you to do a hard vinyl scratch and ask them “are you currently on parole?”

Don’t unknowingly perpetuate disenfranchisement!!!

How it started How it’s going

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

On #PrimeDay, let's not forget. During the pandemic, Jeff Bezos became $97 billion richer by increasing prices by up to 1,000% on essential items and denying hazard pay and paid sick leave to over 450,000 of his workers. It's time to break up Amazon and tax the rich.

[Carroll Fife @carroll_fife]

YUGE news y’all: I am so honored to have earned the endorsement of @BernieSanders.

This movement didn’t come out of nowhere. We’ve been building toward this for YEARS. Watch & see what we build together.
