Hard but beautiful struggle, @roots_must_live led the way in building a fight against mass public school closures in Oakland, Ca. #RootsMustLive #NoSchoolClosures #OaklandNotForSale

[Tierralinda @tierralinda05]

@NPEaction @ShanthiGonzales @brothajitu @ProfessorJVH Thank you, sorry for the confusion. Director Gonzalez is blurring the lines more than any other brd member in Oakland, organizing local leaders to agree to close more schools. We’re going to fight this, but need help. She is showing leaders the way to go along w/mass closures.

@NPEaction @tierralinda05 @ShanthiGonzales @brothajitu @ProfessorJVH We appreciate this. She voted to close our school and she is our director. She silenced su.

[Tierralinda @tierralinda05]

Is it true that Oakland school board Director @ShanthiGonzales was endorsed by @NPEaction for Oakland’s school board? Are you aware that she’s closing public schools & OUSD PD is attacking parents & teachers at school brd mtgs? NPE can you help? @brothajitu @ProfessorJVH #OakEdu

After police brought to a board meeting by #OUSD tore the ACL and the MCL of this 5’2” mother of two, she was strapped to a gurney and transported to the ER while the cops joked that she was faking an injury. The ER doctor confirmed her serious injuries. She may need surgery.

This was the scene at the OUSD school board tonight. Six arrested. One of the six injured. The OUSD board erected barriers and brought in police because they don’t want to hear from the people.⁦@ForOakland⁩ #NoSchoolClosures #OaklandIsNotForSale https://t.co/n3Y9RO1ap6

What school cops do to elementary school parents trying to keep their kids’ schools open: @TonyThurmond @ForOakland @KaiserAdvocacy

[Cheshire Isaacs @cheshiredave]

Not my video, but it clearly shows OUSD cop gearing up for a fight, then getting in the mix and blindsiding a teacher, pushing her violently to the floor. This guy needs to get fired, stat.

At least 6 community members were arrested at the @OUSDNews school brd. One parent was taken to the hospital. The rest were taken to Santa Rita. This is the outcome of local “leaders,” who refused to engage their constituents. #OakEdu Failed leadership. #Betrayed
