Supporters of the Lakeview Elementary School sit-in gathered for a “Celebration and Convergence for Public Education” on July 15. Police had evicted sit-in participants on July 3. The event was held across the street from the school at Splash Pad Park, where the Peoples’ School has continued to conduct classes. Speakers discussed how to fight the attacks on public education. Political activist/performers, including Boots Riley and Jabari Shaw, headlined the event.
The Oakland Unified School District plans to move administrative offices into the school during the week of July 16. Lakeview sit-in activists have requested that the Alameda Labor Council sanction a picket line at the school to prevent the move.
