In a tweet dated November 14th, Dan Siegel (@DanMSiegel), Mayor Quan’s legal advisor announced his resignation as of 2 A.M.  He called for the support of Occupy Oakland.

According to his firm’s website, Siegel is a 1970 graduate of Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley.  He is a trial and appellate attorney who has taken part in complex civil litigation for over 35 years.

I would recommend emailing Mr. Siegel and thanking him for his support.  His email address is dansiegel@siegelyee.com.

They both worked in the armory but in the army that small rank difference means a lot, and many, (if not most) exploit that.

Prison Abolition in the Age of Coronavirus

In the Prison Abolition Movement, it is a well-known fact that Police have a shared history with Slave Catching. There was a need to capture runaway slaves in metropolitan areas before that there was no need for police. Most of the lynchings of Jim Crow South were well attended and represented by police and how enforcement is distributed today is reflection of that history. Too many police and prison guards are former military to ignore the link to the prison industrial complex.
