I urge the City of Oakland to draft, sponsor, and pass a resolution condemning the genocide of the Palestinian people. The City of Richmond recently spoke out and was bold in its leadership. Be courageous with your power as elected leaders and speak out as a governing body representing the people of Oakland. This action is the bare minimum and an easy way to show solidarity with indigenous people and be on the right side of history. Oakland has birthed and nourished many fights for justice and has taught the world what solidarity through direct action looks like. Resolutions like this protect people from censorship, doxxing, and general silencing of anyone who speaks up for Palestine amidst the genocide. No business as usual. No bombs for Israel leaving the Port of Oakland. Free free Palestine.
