#TheTown Sits OUT the Curfew

We, The People of Oakland, and our allies and accomplices around the bay, DISSENT to the steadily encroaching FASCISM of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department’s 8pm curfew order!!!

On Monday, thousands of youth took to the streets to peacefully protest the murder of George Floyd, Steven Taylor, Breonna Taylor and so many more.

This peaceful action was met with violence by the Oakland Police Department as they tear gassed our children following an announcement of a curfew MID PROTEST that the young people knew nothing about.

Our call for Wednesday night in response to the curfew is for ADULTS to come and sit in for our youth.

We highly encourage our young people to stay home or go to youth centered events

We have no interest in funneling more of our young people into the system.

#SitInforOurYouth

We’ll be sitting down in the intersection of 14th and Broadway to say an unequivocal “F***k your curfew!”

Everywhere we turn there are reminders to fight for each other’s freedom. Today, 6/2, is Miles Hall’s Angelversary. We defy the sheriff’s orders in honor and memory of him, as well as Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, Steven Taylor, and countless others murdered by so-called civil servants.

The CURFEWS here and nationwide are RACIST policing measures that serve the militant suppression of The People. These measures are in clear, direct response to us rising up in defense of #BlackLives. We won’t submit to Trump’s “Law and Order State”.
