Whole
Foods has been attacking folks of color within the past two years—going
as far as attacking and racially profiling two black men, and a young,
black teenager in recent reports. Their gentrifying organization must be
held accountable for the threat they have posed to our community and
it’s time that we make some noise to show resistance and intolerance to
racial terror on any and all fronts.
Join us, next Tuesday (1/23) from 3:30-5:30 PM as we hold a noise demo in front of the store to demonstrate our intolerance for racism in our communities. Please bring any safe objects you have to make noise, signs, and bright spirits as we show up for the folks who were affected and targeted by this racist institution. It is imperative that we address racism on all fronts in our communities—especially in recent light of honoring King’s legacy and the path he has helped to pave with his work. We have to continue to take to the streets EVERY day, and address issues as we see them rather than depending on others to do the work first.
When: Tuesday, January 23rd
Time: 3:30-5:30PM
Where: Whole Foods Market 230 Bay Pl, Oakland, CA 94612
Direct all questions, comments, or concerns to:

Hope to see you all there! Love & Solidarity!
Boycott Whole Foods Oakland and its racism!!
Yet another case of blatant racism and racial profiling at another new Oakland establishment has occurred! I’ve witnessed this multiple times at different stores in Oakland, we all know we have and too often I’ve just grit my teeth and accepted that as way it has to be. But this most recent incindent involving a 13 year old child buying gifts for his mother and him being racially profiled twice in the same store over a year apart!!??

That means there’s an issue. I want to force Whole Foods Oakland and board members of Oakland’s developers committee to sit and have a discussion and be held accountable for this grievance against the black community. Please sign and help move this along, share it wide , give suggestions, I’ve never done something like this before but I couldn’t stay silent any longer , any help from established activists would be appreciated. We need change , I don’t know if it will happen in our lifetime but we have to try.
