Friday, September 2, 2022, 2 PM: Court Support for People’s Park Arrestees being arraigned.
Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse, 661 Washington Street in Oakland
If possible please meet at 1:30 PM outside the courthouse to go inside together, and allow for getting through security. The goal is to show the judge that arrestees have community support, which in some cases has been helpful in influencing judges positively. This is not a protest. Please recognize a protest that is not requested by arrestees can have negative effects.
