What is the People's Budget amendment? Who is the Community Democracy Project (CDP)? How do I get on their extra special contact list to get personalized text messages about upcoming events? What is participatory budgeting? Why do they want the residents of Oakland to decide the entire city budget? Who's funding this project? Who's leading it? Do I get a prize or like... earn a badge for joining?

If you have questions, come ask them! If you know some of the answers already, come help answer them from your own perspective! If you follow us on social media and want to to hear more or get more involved, come join us to hear more about this revolution.

Once all of the questions are exhausted, and you feel fully oriented, our orientation will turn into our regularly scheduled Hella People Power Happy Hour where we play games and hang out.

Community Democracy Project is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

On Jan 31st, meet Charles Reed who served 31 years in prison and came home in 2017 to an Oakland that he no longer recognized. The aftermath of America's Drug War combined with Gentrification, Inner-City Disinvestment had transformed Oakland into a hopeless, homeless hovel. This was the land of the Panthers, Black Power and Town Pride. Hoping to restore those revolutionary principles, Charles immersed himself into Community Service. Starting from ROOTS Community Health Centers, Goodwill Industries, Operation Dignity, In-Advance and West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project; Charles has aided his Community through workforce development, housing the homeless, environmental justice and is now Campaign Organizer of Oakland's Emerald New Deal's Peoples' Campaign.

The Emerald New Deal (END) Peoples' Campaign seeks to have 100% of Oakland's existing Cannabis tax revenue devoted and dedicated to restoring the Communities of Color that have been decimated through the ongoing War on Drugs. Charles and his colleagues are fighting to see 100% of these funds reallocated to Job Programs, Housing Assistance, Mental Health Services and Small Business establishment in the Communities of Color throughout Oakland.

Join us to see how you can help make the Emerald New Deal (and a #PeoplesBudget) real!
