Hear Oakland Directors in Human Services, young men whose lives have been dramatically changed, and Oakland Deputy Police Chief Howard Jordan speak about “Ceasefire,” a successful program funded by Measure Y.
Ceasefire focuses on coordinating community and city resources to intervene directly in the lives of youth caught up in cycles of violence, through street outreach and “call-in” sessions.
Speakers will explain why Measure Y funds are no longer available and why passing Measure BB in the November election is critical for this highly effective program to continue.
All 10 Oakland mayoral candidates will also attend the forum and reflect on Ceasefire and Measure BB.
Babysitting will be provided if requested
