A Conversation with Author Marshall Ganz
2024-11-16 13:00 - 15:00
Join the Alameda Labor Council, Building Trades Council of Alameda, and the UC Berkeley Labor Center for a talk by Marshall Ganz, senior lecturer in leadership, organizing, and civil society at Harvard’s Kennedy School and one of the country’s leading voices on democratic organizing.
He has distilled decades of insights into his new book, People, Power, Change: Organizing for Democratic Renewal. Written in the tradition of classics like Saul Alinsky’s 1972 Rules for Radicals, Ganz’s book is both a practical guide on how to reclaim democratic power and an inspiring call for collective organizing as an essential driver of democracy.

We have had quite a journey together this year. There have been moments of celebration and moments of anger and loss. And in the midst of it all, we listened to our community and we took action.
On Monday, December 16th from 5:30 pm-6:45 pm we will be gathering virtually via zoom to reflect on our year together and how we prepare ourselves for the work ahead in 2025. We will have time for sharing, for learning, and for music and song. Finally, we will have time to appreciate our choice to walk together in faith and spirit.

Ceasefire Press Conference
2024-12-30 10:00 - 11:00
For Immediate Release: Press Conference to Discuss Oakland’s Safest Year Since the Pandemic
Contact: Barbara Lafitte-Oluwole, 510-331-3790, lafitteolu@fiaeastbay.org
Faith in Action East Bay’s Public Safety Committee and Ceasefire Night Walkers along with Oakland’s Ceasefire partners, including representatives from the City of Oakland Department of Violence Prevention (DVP), will host a press conference at 10 a.m. Monday, December 30, 2024, in the Meeting Hall at the Faith In Action East Bay (FIAEB) headquarters at 8400 Enterprise Way, Suite 123, Oakland, CA 94621, to discuss year-end reductions in gun violence and share community support for the Ceasefire strategy.
“Our communities have never wavered from our support of the Ceasefire Strategy. We knew in the beginning, in its struggle and in its success, that Ceasefire saves lives — the lives of Black and Brown men in Oakland!” said Faith in Action East Bay organizer Alba Hernandez.
The City of Oakland will finish 2024 as the safest year since the start of the COVID pandemic. As of December 1, there has been a 34% decrease in murders accompanied by a 34% reduction in non-fatal shootings relative to 2023. As Oakland’s primary violence reduction strategy, Ceasefire seeks to identify individuals at very high risk of being involved in gun violence, inform them of their risk, and then offer them intensive community-based services such as life coaching, workforce development, and mental health care.
