Hi @elonmusk Our founder, Seneca Scott's, @SenecaSpeaks21, twitter was frivolously suspended this morning. Please restore his account, as it is a vital tool in our mission to create a safe and livable city for Oakland neighbors.

Neighbors Together Oakland
@NTOakland
NT is dedicated to building community resilience, unity, and preparedness in our neighborhoods.
- The faces of neighbors united in their demands for a safe, livable city. These are the people who are crying out to have their basic needs honored and their desperation has been spat on by billionaire backed activists under the insidious smokescreen of "progressive" ideology.
- 60 percent of Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency payment. A stolen or broken into vehicle can be a devastating setback for a working class person. You know what DOES divide the working class? The identity driven DEI politics pushed by your corporate overlords at AmazonIts happening in NY, Bay Area, the midwest. CVS got caught doing it too. A nat'l campaign to lie & say crime is up in order 2get more funding and public support of police. & 2try to break the working class solidarity thats building during the biggest US strike wave in 50 years.
- A fantastic summary of our 9/9 rally. NTO exists to do exactly what our name suggests, bring Neighbors together to find solutions to very difficult and complex problems.
- Thanks to @KPIXtv for calling attention to this and the work NTO is doing to bring the Neighbors together who are demanding accountable governance.
- Thank you to @shellenberger and @lwoodhouse for courageously shining a light on what are uncomfortable and complex truths. Watch NTO members @SenecaSpeaks21 and @IamKeishaKeisha talk about Oakland's epidemic of crimeCalifornia Gov. @GavinNewsom says crime is worse in other states, but it's not. Just this year, violent crime increased by 19%, robbery by 30%, and auto theft by 52% in Oakland. The reason is that Newsom changed state laws to treat criminals as victims and the police as criminals
00:00 - So many "progressives" are sloppily grafting the rhetoric that may have fit the crack epidemic onto the concomittant fentanyl, meth, tranq and iso epidemics. They are not remotely comparable and policy responses must reflect the new levels of danger these substances engender."The war on drugs is a war against poor people." How utterly insulting and classist to imply that "poor people" are drug addicts. "Poor people" are the ones who have to suffer the most from unchecked drug sales and open-air usage.
- There is robust evidence linking the greening of blighted spaces to increased community safety without engendering gentrification.
