Let's Take Action! Ask Your Councilmember to Fund Anti-Displacement!

Community Justice Action Alert!

Oakland has lost 36,559 African Americans since 2000, a 26% decline.  Homelessness has surged by 39% in 2 years!  Oakland is now the epi-center for the national displacement and racial injustice crisis.  $5 million for 2 years is available in the City’s budget to fund proven anti-displacement strategies that would help over 7,000 tenants and 300 elderly homeowners at severe risk of displacement and homelessness.  We need YOU to contact the Oakland City Council and tell them:

Fund proven anti-displacement and homeless prevention strategies—housing counseling, legal services, and emergency housing funds for low-income tenants and homeowners.
