About Oakland 100 Support Committee
The Oakland 100 Support Committee (O100) came together after the rebellions in January 2009 against the police murder of Oscar Grant III. Since then we have worked along side arrestees to raise awareness about their cases. Through several successful benefits we raised over 4000 dollars for the 3 people that had felony cases. To this date none of them served any jail time.
We produced a short documentary entitled “Hands Off Oakland Rebels” and participated in the “Drop the Charges” campaign.
With the recent news of killer cop, Johannes Mesherle’s lenient sentence of involuntary manslaughter Oakland erupted again in rage. That night close to 100 protesters were arrested and 12 people are still being held in jail and facing trumped up felony charges.
We are interested in working with arrestees, their friends, and families to craft what support means to them.
