Street Mural Protest @ Oakland Federal Building
Here is a video I created about the street mural in front of the Oakland Federal Building I participated in. I helped paint as well as took photos and video. Some of my footage was used in this very well produced video by Peter Menchini who was nice enough to give me some credit for my drone shots here: vimeo.com/518389092
I'm on the Faith Outreach Working Group of The Poor Peoples Campaign representing The SF Quakers and our Peace and social Concerns Committee. The Poor Peoples Campaign notified me about the event because it might be a good fit for my art background.
Here is some info about the action that help you understand the reasons behind it.
This street mural was painted on February 27, 2021 on Clay Street, peacefully blockaded directly in front of the Oakland, California Federal Building using nontoxic clay and tempera paints.
For seven years, Indigenous communities in Minnesota and their allies have been resisting the construction of Line 3, an oil pipeline connecting the tar sands in Canada to Wisconsin. Enbridge Energy, the company responsible, has a terrible environmental track record, and this pipeline would violate several treaties with the Ojibwe people and cross 200 bodies of water.
In February Lakota youth from the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River tribal nations ran over 93 miles back to the Oceti Sakowin Camp site to call on President Biden to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The youth are asking for everyone who stood with Standing Rock four years ago to join this call.
We are responding to a call from Indigenous leaders to be in solidarity with the Water Protectors by blocking an entire city block in downtown Oakland and painting a large street mural with the words: STOP LINE 3 & DAPL - BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE.
This action is part of “Build Back Fossil Free,” the solution-ary push on the Biden Harris Administration to end the era of fossil fuel production, and protect communities reeling from the climate and COVID-19 crises.
