Friend --



Even here in one of the wealthiest urban areas in the richest country on earth, thousands of Oaklanders have no homes, no access to healthcare, and are subject to daily harassment by a racist police system. Our city is segregated into the clean, well-funded neighborhoods of the hills and the over-policed, under-resourced flats of East and West Oakland, where the effects of the pandemic are hitting working-class and poor communities of color especially hard.



That’s why two weeks ago, East Bay DSA endorsed Carroll Fife <[link removed]> in the race for Oakland’s D3 city council seat. Carroll is running on a platform of Housing for All, Defunding OPD to fund a Black New Deal, Taxing the Rich, and Supporting Essential Workers. She is a co-founder of Moms4Housing, a longtime tenant organizer, a Bernie delegate, a union ally, and a central voice in the fight to divest from policing and re-invest in public services.



We need you in the fight for a new people-powered voice in the Oakland City Council.



Join us this Sunday, August 30 @ 6 p.m. for a cross-Bay, Carroll Fife + Dean Preston Fundraiser! <[link removed]>



There’ll be music, comedy, and drag, along with prizes, all to support our favorite socialist (soon-to-be) electeds. The billionaires and police associations won’t fund Carroll, so let’s make sure we do! Pre-register here <[link removed]> and invite your friends on FB! <[link removed]>



Can you also join our DSA for Carroll phonebank this Wednesday, September 2, from 6-8 p.m.? <[link removed]>



We will be organizing weekly phone banks and more events as we get closer to the November 3rd election. If you want to get more involved or have any questions, email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>



Solidarity forever,



The DSA for Carroll team!
