Let’s Talk about Community Safety
This year for the Annual Meeting, we are following up on a online meeting in September with Mayor Sheng Thao where we learned about the City’s plans to address crime and safety in Oakland. She addressed police staffing, police policy, leadership and accountability, reckless driving, police patrols, auto-related crimes, community programs, affordable housing, trash, and quality of life in Oakland. If you missed it, please check out the video on our YouTube channel.
We all want a city that’s safe, vibrant, innovative, and clean. It’s time to work hand in hand to secure a positive, safe future for our local community and to regain community solidarity impacted during the pandemic.
Redwood Heights Association (RHA) invites you to participate in our Annual Meeting, an in-person event at the Redwood Heights Recreation Center. The focus of the meeting will be on our community’s safety and well-being. This is NOT just another meeting with city officials but rather an opportunity to meet, share our thoughts, and imagine and design a safer, better-connected neighborhood. Plus, it’s an opportunity to gather, enjoy local pizza, schmooze with other caring neighbors, and, in partnership, embrace the challenges we all face.
Rethinking Community Safety | Exclusively Grassroots, For Us, By Us
This event is a call to every generation because our strength lies in our diversity. We encourage couples, singles, families, young adults, elders, and everyone else to contribute their ideas and unique perspectives on regaining community strength and public safety.
The Annual Meeting will be interactive, using a design thinking approach to identify solutions. No sitting around listening to people talk.
It’s about you, the members of this community, taking ownership and working together at a grassroots level to identify workable solutions. It will be a safe space to talk, listen, and develop ideas and strategies together.
Your presence and voice matter.
