Last Saturday 60 volunteers joined me on the streets of East Oakland
for the campaign’s first Community Clean-Up.
I took time out from sweeping to thank everyone who showed up, and to invite you, your family,
and your friends, to join me any Saturday this summer
as we continue to clean up Oakland.

Together, we removed 1,485 gallons of trash from the streets of one of Oakland’s most neglected neighborhoods. It was obvious that
it had been some time since City Hall management last
dispatched teams to take care of these streets.
It’s a small step but a significant one. If City Hall
can’t even do the little things, it’ll never get the big things right. I’m running my campaign the same way I’ll lead as Oakland’s mayor: I’ll be in your neighborhood to make sure we’re getting the job done.
So please join me again on Saturday July 17, from 10am – 12:30pm, in West Oakland. We’re meeting at True Vine Ministries, 896 Isabella St, Oakland, CA.
If you can’t join us this Saturday, or would like to support the Believe in Oakland campaign in other ways, please click on the volunteer
icon below.
In particular, the campaign is looking for volunteers
to join our call teams to share our Believe in Oakland message with other members of your community. If you're
available any Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings
this summer please call Campaign HQ (510) 922-8397 and ask for my volunteer co-ordinator, Tiffany. Together, we can make Oakland the
city we believe in.
Thank you again for your belief in Oakland. I hope
to see you Saturday.
