I'll end by showing you this painting by Ikeda Manabu. It became a guiding light two years into the writing process when I was feeling overwhelmed by the script, feeling worthless and stupid for trying to tackle something so big.
Proud of the OAK team and this wonderful gathering we facilitated last night 🥰. Love to see so much Oakland pride in a room.
Last night we hosted our first onboarding workshop, an early step in empowering 5,000 Oakland residents to create a regenerative city using web3 💪🏼
Thank you to the team at @Oakstop_ for hosting us!

Oakland School Board is planning to close 8 majority black schools to “save money.” But last time they closed schools, it *cost* the district money. Why doesn’t OUSD look at their $30million/year consultant spend instead?

Follow the money…into the “dark hole”. Some really diligent reporting here, offering some insights into the financial context of OUSDs proposed closure of black and brown community schools
Thousands of Oakland’s students, parents and teachers have taken to the streets in the last week — and two teachers are on their eighth day of a hunger strike — protesting proposed school closures that would disproportionately affect Black students in… dlvr.it/SJbRTS

Of the top 10 OUSD schools with the highest Black student enrollment percentages, half are at risk of closure: Community Day School, Grass Valley Elementary, Prescott Elementary, Parker K–8, and Carl B. Munck Elementary (all 50-70% Black, while OUSD overall is 22% Black) #oakedu
My latest: The OUSD school board seems poised to greenlight changes that will impact thousands of students, families, teachers, and staff over the next two years in an effort to balance the budget. #oakedu

🥳🥳🥳🎊 and a major shout out to @KenzoEsquivel for all his incredible organizing!
BREAKING: UC agrees to recognize SRU-UAW in its entirety! This historic victory was brought about by the tireless efforts of thousands of SRs who organized to win a union & a direct response to our massive Strike Authorization Vote. Now let’s win a strong contract for all SRs!

Text is imposed on the signs so that they read, “SRU-UAW is officially recognized by UC! We won our union!” The left half of the background is yellow and it changes via a gradient into blue.
