In response to the May 1st vandalism of small businesses and automobiles in this largely working class neighborhood, we at the Brooms Collective are planning on gathering at the 16th Street Mission BART Station at 11:30 on Saturday morning to participate in a neighborhood clean-up and outreach action. Many seem to blame these deplorable actions on supporters of the Occupy Movement, and even Occupy Oakland in particular, while many of us in the Brooms Collective found this truly senseless destruction wholly out of step with our beliefs, political, social or otherwise. An action such as this is the only way that we could even hope to repair the damage that was done in the name of a movement that many of us believe would never have condoned it in the first place.
