Join us on Bernal Heights as we honor the life of Sean Monterrosa. A day of Family Friendly fun as we close down the block for an afternoon of music, food and entertainment ft. @thedjprojectsf @questosahn @the_four_fives @blackyuppielife @dj_baysik
Sean Monterrosa was a 22-year-old Latino American man who was fatally shot on June 2, 2020, by Vallejo police officer Jarrett Tonn. Monterrosa was on his knees and had his hands above his waist when Tonn shot him through the windshield of his unmarked police pickup truck. The police later said Tonn shot him because he erroneously believed a hammer in Monterrosa’s pocket was a gun.[2] Monterrosa later died at a local hospital.
The event sparked outrage in the Bay Area, particularly in Vallejo, which has a long history of police violence, excessive force complaints, and high-profile killings,

5. Saturday, 2:00pm – 4:00pm, Foreign Students Under Atack
The Starry Plough Pub
3101 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley
You may have read about Rumeysa Ozturk, Mahmoud Khalil, Yunseo Chung, or Alireza Doroudi. These university students, who were born in other countries, were
arrested by ICE. Most were sent to detention centers far away from their U.S. homes.They face deportation for speaking out or writing about U.S. foreign policy or for simply
associating with others who have done so.
And they are not the only ones. The current administration is not only threatening the free speech rights of foreign students, but is trying to prevent U.S. Universities from
admitting them at all. Join us for a discussion about the threat to foreign students and what can be done about it.
Speakers include:
Peter Toma – UAW local 4811, UC Berkeley
Kareem – International student organizer at UC Berkeley. Iraqi National
*Organizations listed for identification purposes only.
open discussion will follow the presentations. There will be opportunities to ask questions and make statements from the floor at the event. If you attend online we will read your questions/statements from the chat.
This event is sponsored by the Alameda County Peace and Freedom Party,

7. Monday, 2:00pm, Purge Palantir rally
RSVP: Purge Palantir Palo Alto – July 14th – Action Network
Palantir office,
100 Hamilton Avenue,
Palo Alto
Palantir makes billions off surveillance, deportation, and genocide.
Palantir’s technology allows ICE to identify, locate, and kidnap migrants en masse. Their spy-cop tools track activists and organizers. The Israeli military uses Palantir tech to commit genocide in Gaza.
Now, Palantir is building out the most dangerous mass surveillance system in modern US history. Their mega data platform would access the private personal information of every single person in the US: from our bank records to medical data, immigration status, and more.
Palantir co-founder and chairman Peter Thiel is one of Trump’s biggest donors. In exchange, Trump has funneled at least $113 million in federal contracts to build out these dystopian business plans.
