FYI. I still have 5 tickets to this event on Friday.
I realize there are important events at this same time (Standing Rock
related), but it would be great to have a strong Omni presence for part of
the meeting. Contact me off-list if you're interested in joining us.

*About CR's Bay Area organizing:*
CR-Oakland continues our work in coalitions to *Stop Urban Shield* in
Alameda County and advance *alternatives to jail construction in San
Francisco (SF)*.
Last week, over 40 community members rallied outside the Alameda Board of
Supervisors then went inside to provide testimony against funding for the
militarization of policing - alongside powerful letters
