As of early Monday morning 22 peaceful protesters have been arrested and
their personal property impounded.
“People will see and hear first-hand that (there) are deep discrepancies
between what the mayor and her team claim and what is
actually happening in
the streets,” protest leader Needa Bee said in a statement posted to social
media.
Among the several dozen protesters was 71-year-old
Kelsey Brenner.
“I can’t sit by and watch what’s happening,” she told the East Bay Times.
“The city is criminalizing homelessness and is not providing enough
low-income housing … I look around at all these high rises going up at an
Oakland … my own daughter can’t live here because it’s too expensive.”
“We are protesting because there are a bunch of empty houses and a bunch of
homeless people and we think that people should have
homes,” protester
Juliette Hadid told KPIX 5 as she was being led anyway in plastic handcuffs.

Unhoused folks who have been traumatized and

Oakland, whose encampments have been destroyed, have moved onto Oscar Grant
Plaza asking "Where do we go?" Where are the millions that were set aside
to upgrade, not evict encampments and to build permanent housing for the
homeless?
OGP 14th/Bdwy right NOW
