Transform Alameda

Transform Alameda works with our community to build a racially just future through local education, policy work, and action.

ALAMEDA! Great, easy way to walk the talk - learn how to avoid calling the cops on your neighbors. Upcoming webinar series from @afsc_org "Think Twice Before Calling the Police" https://t.co/lHS88TFnRv

"Our budget is a moral document. It represents who and what our city values...We believe that those struggling the most should be centered in the conversations about who and what we are focusing our resources on."

THIS RIGHT HERE! Read the Alameda Community Budget report (link in our bio) to see what Alamedans want to see budget dollars spent on.

[Movement 4 Black Lives @Mvmnt4BlkLives]

City budgets should prioritize the needs and safety of our communities and move us toward a future where all of us are free. This looks like investments in public schools, libraries, affordable housing, and healthcare, not 50% salary increases for cops. https://t.co/qfyA32ZSpQ

Thanks to everyone for coming out to support Mario's family last night and honor his memory. ❤️

[CURYJ @CURYJ]

CURYJ & community gathered at 802 Oak Street, Alameda to remember #Justice4MarioGonzalez, murdered by Alameda Police 2 years ago. Amanda Majail-Blanco, the organizer, called for justice and asked @PPriceCares to take the case seriously.

[Transform Alameda @transform_ala]

This event is for Mario’s family's healing and to keep his memory alive. We hope our community can show up in support as you all have done in the past. If you would like to help in any way (set up, clean up, etc) please reach out to us here or email us. #alamtg

[Transform Alameda @transform_ala]

Please join us this Wed. 4/19 to honor Mario Gonzalez and his family. It's been 2 years since APD murdered Mario. We’re asking community members to come help hold space for those that loved and knew Mario. Feel free to bring flowers or battery operated candles. #Justice4MarioG

The survey results are in! We are really encouraged by the deep, thoughtful community conversation that the Alameda Community Budget survey initiated. Thank you for being a part of it. Explore the ACB report in our linktree and share it with a friend or neighbor.

UPDATE: Unfortunately this resolution passed Council last night. Thanks to everyone who spoke up and said NO to excessive police funding. Looks like we can expect more of the same from this Council. As always, we will hold them accountable to the community, together.

Regular Meeting has now started, 7:32pm

[Transform Alameda @transform_ala]

Looks like City Council is still in closed session. Item 7-A is a little ways off from being heard. We'll update this thread once it's getting close to time in case folks need a chance to log on.

[Transform Alameda @transform_ala]

If you plan to send in written comment on item 7-A, get those emails in by 5pm in order to have your comments attached to the agenda! Join the meeting at 7pm if you can as well. Our linktree has talking points and you can always DM us for support on comments.

“🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 Help support Mario Gonzalez's brother Efrain as he recovers from emergency surgery next week. We're sending him love and wishes for good health. We also hope to ease Edith’s responsibilities as she cares for her son by helping them with meals and essentials.

[Transform Alameda @transform_ala]

Supporting Efrain is a way to provide tangible, long-term support to survivors of state violence perpetrated right here in Alameda. Community care is what Edith and Efrain need from us right now, we hope you’ll join us in this effort. #WeKeepUsSafe”
