We are disgusted by the looting of Oakland. These monsters must be held to account for the destruction and pain they& #39;ve caused.
Join us in shaming the looters one by one.

First up: @WellsFargo, who made big $ displacing black & brown families across town. https://www.kcet.org/shows/city-rising/who-benefits-from-gentrification">https://www.kcet.org/shows/cit...
Corporate landlords like Mosser buy apts & jack up rent to drive out poor, often POC, tenants.

They call it a “visionary value-add strategy to turn around troubled multifamily housing assets in transitioning neighborhoods.”

We call it looting Oakland. https://eastbaymajority.com/mosser-tenant-organizing-moms4housing-rent-hikes/">https://eastbaymajority.com/mosser-te...
Can’t talk about looting Oakland without looking at the OPD’s insane budget.

They’re robbing 41% of our general fund, while thousands live without homes, food, and jobs.

They get a bloated budget for tanks and drones, we get crumbs. We get jailed, evicted, harassed.
Speaking of corporate Dems, @buffywicks got $3m in PAC donations from landlords, charter schools, and Republicans.

Check her @ for a statement of solidarity with the young people of color who marched against OPD last night.

jk she hasn’t said shit lol https://buffywicks.money/ ">https://buffywicks.money/">...
We stop the capitalist looters when tenants band together and hold rent strikes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Raised fist" aria-label="Emoji: Raised fist">

When unions like OEA, ILWU, and ATU fight for the entire working class https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Raised fist" aria-label="Emoji: Raised fist">

When we join fighting, democratic member orgs like @CalOrganize & DSA https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Raised fist" aria-label="Emoji: Raised fist">

And when we take the streets in solidarity! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Raised fist" aria-label="Emoji: Raised fist">
