MH First Oakland

Here are some suggestions for places you can reach out to for support while we’re on hiatus!

As of today, 2/13/25, we are pausing our volunteer program MH First to restructure, reshape, and retool for the future. We are pausing for 3–6 months to realign and grow. Thank you for your continued support. Together we’ll continue to build stronger.

MH First Oakland is now open! Hit us up Fri & Sat 2pm-2am. Call or text us at 510-999-9MH1. 🚀🚀🚀

@CatsCommentary @RafiknWahbi @AsantewaaRn @thehoopoe

Given the circumstances, we make the final draft of CURCUM’s Trees: A Decolonial Healing Guide for Palestinian Community Health Workers available now before its planned formal launch and publication. Free for download (Arabic and English) Pls circulate. mayflybooks.org/curcums-trees/

You can’t be neutral on a moving train—sign the petition to decriminalize fare evasion!

@APTPaction Rest In Peace Kenneth Harding Jr, killed by SFPD over a $2 muni fare

Repeated fare evasion is punishable by fines ranging from $250-$400 & the potential of incarceration for up to 90 days. 40% of Americans couldn't afford a $400 emergency expense. We must decriminalize fare evasion and create transportation solutions that benefit everyone!

Comrades in LA please support!

@APTPaction thank you 💚

We are deeply saddened by the recent assault of an Asian elder in SF, allegedly by James Ramsey, a Black disabled man with a history of mental illness. We are praying for her full recovery. This is a systemic failure - all violence is state violence. Read our full statement:
