Occupy the Hood, Decolonize Oakland, SEIU Local 1021, Oakland Community Organizations (OCO), and Oakland clergy packed the city council’s chambers on Tuesday evening (Feb 21) to demand an end to the city’s “toxic deal” with Goldman Sachs. Oakland makes million dollar payments to the bailed-out speculative banking corporation every year, which have totaled $26 million since the late nineties and potentially over $2 million more per year until 2021. Coincidentally, that is the exact same amount that would be required to keep open the 5 schools slated for closure.
