**Sponsored by Plan for a Safer Oakland; a community collaboration organized by All of Us or None and Critical Resistance

To make Oakland safer, we need:

1-More reentry services for people coming back from prison -- Ban the Box:

Stop discrimination against people with past convictions. Expand reentry

support services. Provide transportation waivers & vouchers for tuition

costs.

2-Investment in people, not police and prisons -- Fund schools & programs

instead of jails. Stop the Three Strikes law. No collaboration between

Oakland Police and ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement). End the curfew

against people on probation & parole.

3-To STAND UP for Oakland's youth -- No Oakland youth to California Youth

Authority. Adopt the Bill of Rights for Children of Incarcerated Parents.

Fund community-based programs and copmmunity centers.
