Just over a year ago, the City of Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT) kicked off three years of ramped-up street paving with a major street repair campaign focusing on local neighborhood streets and historically underserved neighborhoods. Thanks to the dedication of essential workers who have delivered paving work and other vital services throughout the pandemic, the plan is off to a roaring start: the City announced today it has paved 39.4 miles since July 1, 2019.

To thrive in the classroom our teachers need housing security outside of it. We’ve launched a new pilot to provide Oakland teachers with a guaranteed income and reduced-priced housing. We want to keep our teachers, like Malik Stead, rooted in Oakland.
Right now our pilot is funded entirely by philanthropy but we believe its success will change the way our public systems work and create a new path where teacher housing becomes a priority. TY Community Development Finance, Pritzker Foundation, Hellman Foundation, the CA Endowment + community champions for making this ambitious plan a reality.

Celebrating Oakland style! The Town is so proud!
Daughter of Oakland. You have made us so proud — so many tears of joy flowing in the Town right now! Congratulations to my friend, and our new Madame Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.
Today, America said yes: Yes to decency and compassion. Yes to new leadership that elevates our values of diversity and inclusion. Yes to a Black Asian woman from Oakland, California. Congratulations President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.
Let’s hold another truth: Today’s victory was not an overwhelming repudiation of Trump's hateful rhetoric + unethical acts. The margin of victory reminds us of how much work America has to do to acknowledge and confront the great injustices caused by a history of inequity in our country.
An Oval Office with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris gives us hope that our country will start the real work to reconcile the wounds of our past, and start the healing our country needs in the present.
I cannot wait to start working with a Biden-Harris administration and I am filled with pride to see Daughter of Oakland, Kamala Harris, at the helm of our nation’s future.

2020 was a year of grief, of pride, and most all: Hope. Our City of Oakland employees went above the call of duty to deliver services to our most vulnerable in their greatest time of need. We came together as a community with urgency + passion to deliver 25,000 meals a week to residents, 25,000 free laptops to kids + families, and while paving a historic 26 miles of new roads. #OaklandUndivided #TheGreatPave We converted hotels into housing for the homeless, stood up testing sites in our most impacted neighborhoods, and connected our homebound seniors with food and social services through the heralded #GreatOaklandCheckIn #OperationHomeKey We opened our neighborhood roads and returned them to pedestrians and bicyclists. We allowed restaurants to flow onto sidewalks and streets; we delivered grants to keep small businesses and non-profits rooted in Oakland. #SlowStreets #FlexStreets Our beloved artists healed our city and transformed our downtown into a living art gallery — a call to action and shrine to the racial reckoning long overdue in our country. We love you, #Oakland. To attack poverty, economic disparity and racial injustice, we will launch a guaranteed income pilot in Oakland this year — because everyone deserves to go to bed with a basic level of economic security. #GuaranteedIncome Thank you again to every city worker and all those who volunteered and pitched in to bring our community together in 2020. Let's make sure we see clearly the lessons of 2020 and build a more just, equitable, and compassionate society. #StateOfTheCity

Let me be clear: Trump-deployed military agents are not welcome in Oakland. Period. I stand united with Mayor Jenny Durkan, Mayor Jim Kenney, Mayor Tim Keller, and the United States Conference of Mayors in opposing the unrequested deployment of federal agents to cities.
Listen to Kev Choice. Love Oakland, #givethelakeabreak and give the Lake some space.
Earlier this year in pre-COVID times we planned to launch #OaklandStories, an interview series to share the remarkable stories of Oaklanders. I sat with incredible guests such as Tommy Orange, Fantastic Negrito, Rev. Dr. Jacqueline A. Thompson of Allen Temple Baptist Church, Fruitvale activist Arabella Martinez and many more. These stories illustrate what makes Oakland unique. We’ll share a new #OaklandStories each Monday and want to hear your suggestions for future guests. Stay tuned for the first episode premiering at 6PM on social media tonight!
Oakland needs COVID relief - not troops - from our President. He should stop slandering diverse, progressive cities like Oakland in his racist dog whistles and divisive campaign tactics. We are not experiencing any civil unrest right now, but I can think of nothing more likely to incite it than the presence of Trump-ordered military troops into Oakland.
