I'm a journalist, graphic artist, and long-time transgender activist. A founding member of Peoples Alliance, and a member of the Peace and Freedom Party. The P&FP is a socialist party that stands for poor and working class power and has always fought to advance socialism, democracy, ecology, feminism and racial equality. People's Alliance is a socialist formation. We believe that the multinational working class and oppressed peoples of the world are not only entitled to the full fruits of our labor but should have control over the course of our society and world. The 14th district encompasses land taken by force from the indigenous people. In the face of ruthless gentrification that is displacing the poorest, we need comprehensive and thoroughgoing rent and vacancy control. When one family is forced out of their home by ever hiking rent, landlords raise the rent for their vacated home drastically. We must actively resist ICE, allow no roundups, no family separations, no camps, no imprisonment, no deportations, no children in cages. The city of Vallejo has been besieged by a bloodthirsty police department. Vallejo P.D. has lethal indifference to the lives of people of color making it the city with the highest per capita rate of police killings in Northern California. Our struggle includes demanding quality, free medical care for all. A vibrant community needs students to be able to learn without working to pay their tuition or being saddled with student debt.
  • Police Accountability: Vallejo PD has the highest rate of police killings in northern California. The City of Vallejo has failed to reign in their PD, so the PD must be put under state recivership in order to hold killer cops to account.
  • Universal housing: Shelter all the unhoused. Concord achieved only 2% of its state mandated affordable housing goals. Develp the Concord Naval Weapons station exclusively with affordable housing.
  • Non-compliance with ICE! No camps, deportations or family separations. Sanctuary for all. True sanctuary spaces are free from deportations, policing, surveillance and detention.
The city of Vallejo has been besieged by a bloodthirsty police department. Vallejo P.D. has lethal indifference to the lives of people of color making it the city with the highest per capita rate of police killings in Northern California.. Their greatest notoriety comes from the killing of rapper Willie McCoy who was shot 55 times in the head and chest by 6 officers while asleep in his car earlier this year. Other victims include Angel Ramos, Ronell Foster, and Mario Romero. Most recently Eric Reason was shot in the back by an off duty officer from nearby Richmond. Reason was a respected member of his community, a loving father of six children. This reprobate of an officer was caught on video taking "trophy pics" of the man as his fallen body bled out onto the pavement. Vallejo P.D. failed to arrest the killer, instead treating the murder as a shooting happening in the course of an on-duty officer's duties. The Vallejo police, instead of being held accountable, enjoyed a sizeable raise and loosened rules around drug testing killer cops.
Meanwhile people are being found dead in their jails, most recently a woman named Maria Barraza in the Martinez Detention Facility. As usual, it was ruled a suicide. Society needs deep, systemic change. We must defend our neighbors of all nationalities, all religious affiliations, all gender identities and sexual orientations. We must push back against reactionary politics from the street to the statehouse to build a future for our youth.
