5. Wednesday, 7:00pm – 8:00pm, Boycott Manny’s and its “Woke-Washing” of the Mission
Manny’s
16th & Valencia St.
SF
STOP THE WOKE-WASHING OF THE MISSION
We are a group of black and brown folks, Jews, Mission Housing tenants, trans and queer people, and many others, who are committed to collective liberation. We are
calling for a community boycott of Manny’s (3092 16th at Valencia, SF) because this new upscale wine bar is yet another gentrifying attack on our community. While Manny’s bills itself as a “community space”, it’s marketed toward white ruling class techies, and its programming often features right-wing politicians who are supported by the luxury condo industry. While Manny’s is on the ground floor of a low-income building run by Mission Housing, its residents had no say in its placement. While countless Latinx cultural spaces are evicted from the Mission, Sam Moss who runs Mission Housing, gave Manny’s a reduced rent.
The owner of Manny’s has worked with Bay Area Zionist organizations. Zionism is a racist ideology that believes Palestinian people have no claim to their land. Zionists, through the state of Israel, enforce this ideology by murdering, arresting, torturing, and displacing generations of Palestinian people. We stand against Zionism, gentrification, anti-Semitism, and all other forms of oppression.
Manny’s is part of a systematic attempt to make gentrification and racism seem “cool” through woke-washing. Woke-washing is the strategy of putting a “social justice” façade on oppressive politics.

Come out and join us as we demand an end to ICE detentions and the private prisons that are profiting from family separations.

14. Friday, 7:00pm – 9:00pm, Film & discussion: Rosewood directed by John Singleton
Revolution Books Berkeley
2444 Durant Ave.
Berkeley
Rosewood is an unforgettable film directed by John Singleton, who died too young at 51 on April 29th. Singleton was a trailblazer, breaking down barriers as a young filmmaker. He was the first African American nominated for an Academy Award as Best Director in 1991 for Boyz n the Hood. (And to this day, no Black director has won Best Director). He was an inspiration to young filmmakers and was loved by many who saw themselves in his films.
Set in the small, mostly Black town of Rosewood, Florida, this 1997 film tells the true story of the Rosewood Massacre when people in this Black town were attacked by white mobs in 1923. Black people stood up against these attackers, but the town was burned to the ground and its residents were permanently driven out. The story itself was buried for over 60 years.

15. Saturday, 3:00pm – 4:00pm, Stop Restarting of Japanese Nuke Plants & Olympics in Fukushima
San Francisco Japanese Consulate
275 Battery St. (nr. California)
SF
Join No Nukes Action NNA on it’s 80th action at the San Francisco Japanese Consulate to protest the continued Japanese Abe government to force Japanese children and their families back to Fukushima. The government claims that Fukushima has been “decontaminated” but the three reactors still have melted nuclear rods which they have not been able to remove. In addition that is over 1 million tons of contaminated radioactive tritium water in thousands of tanks surrounding the broken nuclear plants in Fukushima. The government is pushing to release the water in the Pacific Ocean despite the opposition of fisherman associations and the public.
There are also thousands of bags in Fukushima filled with radioactive waste with no place to go and these bags are spread throughout the region
the Abe government has lied to the Olympic committee that not only is Japan safe but Fukushima should host the baseball games and special Olympics. It is spending tens of millions of dollars preparing the Azuma sports stadium to push a big lie that everything is OK.
The government also plans to bring in immigrant workers as contract laborers and use them for the clean-up without proper training and safety.
The Abe government is also pushing for militarization and removal of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution that prevents military interventions outside Japan.

17.Sunday, 12 Noon, Codepink Mother’s Day March: Walk for Immigrant Mothers and their Families & for Peace
Golden Gate Bridge
11:45 am: Gather at the SF or Marin end of the eastern walkway of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Noon: Walk on the eastern walkway from the north or south ends to converge in the middle for World Peace. Then march to the SF side for rally.
1:30pm: Rally on SF side after the bridge walk. We will read the names and stories of some of the victims of the cruel U.S. border policies that have separated families.
MIC Check reading of Julia Ward Howe’s 1870 Mother’s Day Proclamation
-End Family Separation
-Close All Detention Centers Now!
-Immigration is NOT a Crime
Mother’s Day was originally founded post-Civil War, as a call to organize women around the world to unite to abolish war. CODEPINK has been honoring that original pledge every Mother’s Day since 2007, bringing our messages of peace & justice to the Golden Gate Bridge.
We live in dark times today, with immigrant children being cruelly torn apart from their parents, and placed indefinitely in detention centers, traumatizing them with long-lasting psychic wounds, ending in death for some. There are thousands of immigrant children right now suffering in detention centers right now, without their parents.
This Mother’s Day we will walk in solidarity with immigrant mother’s who are separated from their children, or who are threatened to be separated. This is also to support a national call to action against these inhumane ICE and U.S. policies.
We will also carry messages to express our passion for PEACE! MOTHERS SAY NO WAR!
All are welcomed.

18. Monday, 10:00am – 12Noon, Speak Out: SB 1045 Conservatorship Vote at Rules Committee
SF City Hall, Room 263
1 Dr. Carleton B. Goodlett Pl.
SF
Urge Supervisors to vote “NO” on the implementation of SB 1045 in San Francisco!
The Board of Supervisors will be voting on whether or not they would like to implement the state Senate Bill 1045 in San Francisco. It must first go through the Rules Committee (which Supervisors Mar, Ronen, and Walton sit on) before it can be passed onto the full board for a vote.
SB 1045 would allow the city to create a new form of conservatorship, which moves us away from long standing practice of only placing people in locked facilities when they present a harm to self and others and instead using 8 detentions under the 5150 code as the criteria. This is a new legal process through which an individual can lose the right to make decisions about their housing, finances, and medical care.The bill targets homeless people with severe mental illness and substance addictions. While claiming to be a solution to chronic homelessness, this bill provides no funding for housing or mental health treatment.
For more information, visit https://sdaction.org/conservatorship-sb-1045/.

Community & Economic Development Committee Sgt. Mark Dunakin Room – 1st Floor
Oakland City Hall
1 Frank H. Ogawa Plz
Oakland
Did you know that if a tenant lives in a duplex or triplex in Oakland & the owner or their relative moves into one of the units ALL of the tenants lose rent stabilization & protections from both harassment & landlords that refuse to make necessary repairs?
Do you think that the housing affordability crisis in Oakland is out of control and that all tenants in Oakland deserve strong protections against displacement, homelessness, and rent gouging?
Then come out and demand City Council close a loophole that already exempts ~3,000 units in Oakland from rent control and that threatens the future stability of thousands more.
Landlords have been turning out to protest this ordinance in mass and we have to show City Council that they must act to protect the diversity of our city.
