We’d be more than appreciative if folks could donate to cover the cost of these tickets, as the cost has gone up from $14 to $15.50. They are an unexpected (and budgeted-for) cost.

3. Friday, 10:00am, Shellmound 2 Shellmound Prayer Walk: Honoring the Legacy of Wounded Knee DeOcampo

1900 4th Street
Berkeley

This year’s annual Shellmound 2 Shellmound Prayer walk will honor the legacy of beloved warrior Wounded Knee De’Ocampo who transitioned on October 7th 2024.

Wounded Knee was known for showing up for the people, being a water protector and for being a part of The Longest Walk that began in 1978, starting from the Bay Area to Washington D.C.
Wounded Knee was also monumental in the movements to protect sacred sites, one of those sites being Sogorea Te’, which is now known as Glen Cove in Vallejo.

Through this work Wounded Knee reached people from various communities around the world and so many people will feel the impact from this great loss. The work that Wounded Knee has done in the protection of sacred sites will continue to live on through all who knew and loved him.

Join us on the largest shopping day after Thangs-taken!

Passcode: 568661

The death penalty has been steadily dying—in California and the rest of the country—for years. We’ll discuss some of the reasons why it’s dying, some of the reasons it hangs on in a few places, and what we can do to abolish it in a way that it stays abolished.

Bob Bacon practices law in Oakland. Since 1990, he has represented clients under California death sentences. In addition to representing his own clients and assisting other capital litigation teams, he is active in systemic work for criminal justice reform. Prior to 1990, he had shorter careers in court management and in prosecution. He has been a UU since 1979 and a member of UUSF since 1994. Learn more at https://clemencyca.org/.
