Right of Return Pilgrimage
2025-06-08 08:00 - 17:00
On Sunday, June 8, 2025, we will journey 22 miles from Alameda to Berkeley, retracing in reverse last year’s pilgrimage route. This distance mirrors the path from Rafah to Gaza City, taken in prayerful solidarity with those displaced by violence and war. Our pilgrimage is part of the global Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimages movement, which continues to grow in power and spirit.
We will gather as people of diverse faiths, cultures, and communities who believe in the sacredness of life, dignity, and shared well-being.
We are organizing this pilgrimage because the violence funded by U.S. tax dollars in Gaza is not separate from the violence our communities experience here — through systems of incarceration, family separation, displacement, and criminalization that target immigrants, Indigenous people, unsheltered neighbors, trans and BIPOC communities.

WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR: / ¿POR QUÉ LUCHAMOS?

AB1157 THE AFFORDABLE RENT ACT will amend the 2019 Tenant Protection Act (TPA) in three ways:/ AB1157 – LA LEY DE RENTA ASEQUIBLE propone enmendar la Ley de Protección al Inquilino (TPA) de 2019 de tres maneras:

Limit allowable annual rent increases to inflation to 5%. Current law sets the limit at a maximum of 10%. / Limitar los aumentos anuales de alquiler permitidos a la inflación hasta un máximo del 5%. Actualmente, la ley permite hasta un 10%.

Cover renters living in single family homes by removing the TPA’s exemption for most single-family homes. /Incluir a los inquilinos que viven en casas unifamiliares, eliminando la exención de la TPA para la mayoría de estas viviendas.

Make the Tenant Protection Act (TPA) permanent, by removing the 2030 sunset./ Hacer permanente la Ley de Protección al Inquilino (TPA), eliminando su fecha de vencimiento en 2030.

According to research from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a $100 increase in median rent is associated with a 9% increase in homelessness./ Según investigaciones de la Oficina de Responsabilidad Gubernamental de EE.UU., un aumento de $100 en el alquiler medio se asocia con un aumento del 9% en la falta de vivienda.

In 2024, for every 100 people who exited homelessness, 118 more entered into homelessness, revealing how our current system is failing to address the root causes of this emergency./ En 2024, por cada 100 personas que salieron de la falta de vivienda, 118 más entraron, lo que revela cómo nuestro sistema actual no aborda las causas profundas de esta emergencia.

No Wellpath! Public Protection Committee Meeting
2025-03-27 10:00 - 11:30
The Stop Deaths and Harm group has serious concerns about the quality of healthcare in Alameda County Jail which has had one of the highest rates of in-custody deaths in the state. Wellpath, the medical care provider in the jail since 2016, is owned by a global investment firm and provides healthcare in 34 of California’s 56 county jails. Over 1500 lawsuits have been filed nationwide and Wellpath’s recent bankruptcy will prevent those families from getting justice.
We are asking all those who care about improving medical treatment in Alameda County Jail to attend the Alameda County Board of Supervisors’ Public Protection Committee meeting on March 27th at 10:00 AM. Wellpaths’s $49 million dollar annual contract is up for renewal in 2027, and we want the Board of Supervisors to start to explore alternatives NOW!
If you are able to attend and might be willing to speak, please contact mickydux612@gmail.com If you are unable to attend in person, but can join on Zoom, please join at: https://zoom.us/j/83246519903
