Throw Down for the Town

The Ella Baker Center is a local organization I throw money at on the odd occasion I have some spare (or when I am feeling particularly angry that people are willing tear apart my city protesting a cop shooting a kid, but couldn't give a fuck less about the many other young black men and women killed here on a weekly basis.) is having a community service day for Oakland on Saturday, August 13th.

I have signed up for a tree planting project, which, while doesn't address youth violence issues, will hopefully make neighborhoods look less blight-ridden.
