hi - here's a part of my personal journey towards abolition. When people say that we dont care about violence and survivors, they forget that we are survivors of violence, too. This story means a lot to me, the most actually.

It is with a heavy heart we share with you that Margy Wilkinson, our beloved colleague and friend, passed away in her sleep on Saturday, June 27 at her home in South Berkeley. friendsofadeline.org/margy/
In honor of the legacy of community member Margy Wilkinson, join Berkeley United 4 Community Safety and @FOASouthBerk tonight for a (social distanced) rally for a just budget: one that defunds the police and reinvests in real community safety. 5:30pm, Berkeley Civic Center.
@berkeleyside published my tribute to Margy Wilkinson, who died suddenly this weekend.
She was the type of person who gives you some faith in a terrible world because at least it made her to make it better: berkeleyside.com/2020/06/29/…

THE OAKLAND SCHOOL BOARD JUST VOTED UNANIMOUSLY FOR TO GET POLICE OUT OF OAKLAND SCHOOLS!!!
A massive massive thank you to @BlackOrgProject for NINE YEARS of work to make this possible!!!
We’re crying!!!
City Council Meeting TONIGHT 6PM! City officials have started making vague commitments to "reenvisioning public safety" in Berkeley. Any plan around public safety must include steep cuts to BPD and real investments in health-affirming services. Zoom ID 810 1837 8132.
Organizers are asking allies to make space for those most impacted by policing and cuts to vital city services to speak tonight.
