Last weekend, SURJ members and community members gathered to write postcards and share their stories with @CAgovernor @gavinnewsom to urge him to veto AB 715. Tomorrow, we will have an action hour to make calls and emails to his office. Join us!

Join SURJ Bay Area for an action half hour to learn more about AB715, the public education censorship bill designed to censor criticism of Israel and education about Palestinian histories. Together we’ll demand that Governor Newsom protect free speech in our classrooms & veto this dangerous bill!

Oakland is facing a housing crisis — and criminalizing homelessness will only make it worse.

The Encampment Abatement Policy would:
Push thousands more people onto the streets
Increase mental health crises and overdoses
Waste taxpayer dollars without solving homelessness

We need real solutions!
September 5, 2025 at 9:08 AM
📢Action Alert: Call CA Senators today to demand they oppose AB 715! Let them know that censorship has no place in our California schools. Let’s flood their lines before a potential hearing next week! 📢

A new Oakland councilmember is trying to push through an anti-homeless policy while militarization against the poor and unhoused is being unleashed nationally. Keep this policy OUT of Oakland. Sign the petition: www.change.org/p/invest-in-...

Our efforts are working but we must keep up the pressure and be ready to mobilize! Pro-Israel groups are pushing for AB715 to be heard in committee during the week of September 8th. If a hearing is scheduled, we will mobilize immediately. RSVP HERE: bit.ly/ab715sept

Arts and culture are not optional in Oakland! They are essential violence prevention, providing necessary expression, activity and connection for youth and adults alike. SURJ BA & other community orgs demand the Arts & Culture Manager position be fully funded in this year’s city budget.
