Important update about Mario’s case:

This evening as we get ready to support Mario’s family for his 3rd Angelversary DA Pamela Price announced that the three officers who killed him will be charged with felony involuntary manslaughter. Today’s announcement brings hope to Mario’s family for the first time since he was murdered. Hope for the justice system to hold these officers accountable for their actions and their misconduct. We have stood with Edith, Jerry, and Efraín since day one and we will continue to do so. This will be a difficult journey, and we ask our community to join us in supporting them throughout this coming legal process. Justice for Mario Gonzalez was a demand not just a slogan and we hope that his family will finally get the justice they have been waiting for. Please join us tomorrow, Friday April 19th for a celebration of Mario and to stand with his family during this important time.

Please join us in helping to honor Mario on his third Angelversary. Mario was murdered by Alameda police on April 19th 2021. As a community we hope that we can continue to show up for his family and support them in keeping his memory alive. We hope someday to have a permanent memorial in this space and to have the park renamed for him to make sure everyone knows what happened here, please keep an eye out for a petition for that in the future. For now, please show up for this special event, bring flowers, art, an offering for the altar and love for his family.

The survey results are in! We are really encouraged by the deep, thoughtful community conversation that the Alameda Community Budget survey initiated. Thank you for being a part of it!

We hope you’ll take some time to explore what we learned from the survey and see the ways in which the Alameda Community Budget can be useful to our community. Take a look, share this with your friends and neighbors, and see what participatory budgeting looks like here in Alameda.

The City staff and Council are embarking on a strategic planning process as they build the next two-year City budget. Later this month, a strategic planning meeting will be held by the City. The purpose of this meeting is to clearly define the City of Alameda's priorities. We hope this report can help you express your priorities to the City. Together we can share our values and impact how public money should be spent!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in supporting Edith, Efrain, and Little Mario today. Especially the family members of other victims of police violence Angelo Quinto and Erik Salgado. It was short notice but Edith asked us to remind Alameda that Mario still needs people fighting for him, especially now that the case is being re-investigated. If you drove by and honked we thank you too. We hope to continue to be able to show them that Alameda is here for them and we’ll keep fighting with them.
