Help Aimee Allison's Campaign for Oakland City Council

by Jonah Zern
Aimee's victory is essential in moving the new agenda and new hope represented by Ron Dellums forward.
This week Aimee gained the endorsement of City Councilmember Nancy Nadel. Her campaign is picking up momentum. It is time for us to reclaim Oakland from large developers and create a city where our young people come first, where education, affordable housing, environmental sustainability, and the lives of our formerly incarcerated take priority over the wealthy and big business. Aimee's victory is essential in moving the new agenda and new hope represented by Ron Dellums forward.

Please come volunteer! Me and many of the people who work with me for justice for Oakland's youth will be helping from 3PM-7PM on Sundays. Many of the youth we work with will be coming out on their own times with their schools to help. If you can't join us on Sundays, but want to get involved, there are many other times you can sign up for below. Thank you to everyone who has come out so far!!

Oakland deserves Leadership for a Change. Thanks for
your willingness to make it happen.


A letter from Aimee...


Dear Neighbors,

We're gaining momentum! Door to door I'm hearing your concerns – about violence; corruption; jobs & schools. And I'm offering real solutions.

Under current leadership, Oakland’s murder rate is double last year. Big money developers get too much, and our kids get too little. Our current leadership is failing.

Oakland can do better. This November, voters have a choice: vote business as usual, or vote for change in our communities. I share Mayor-elect Dellums’ vision of Oakland and will work him to make Oakland a vibrant city for us all.

With a new progressive majority on the City Council, we can transform Oakland by winning peace on the streets; creating new living wage jobs in the green economy; doubling funding for kids in the City; and bringing City Hall business out into the open, where it belongs.

Join this exciting campaign. Stopping by our headquarters at 3208 Grand Avenue next to the Grand Lake Theatre or call us at (510) 277-0182.

The voters spoke loud and clear during the June elections - Oakland is ready for change! Let’s create a safer and more beautiful Oakland together.

Sincerely,
Aimee Allison
