After Trump won again, we heard a lot of talk about the economy—how gas and groceries are too expensive, and how Democratic Party leaders didn’t deliver.

But here’s the real question: who is actually showing up for people right now? Not just with rhetoric, but with action?

doesn’t just talk. They show up. They give out groceries. They fill up gas tanks. They meet people where they are.

That’s what real solidarity looks like.

If you believe in this kind of work, we invite you to support it directly.

As the Right actively rewrites history to expand their ranks — deceptively promising to absolve white people from any responsibility for chattel slavery — how do we respond?

CRCAA’s How Slavery Shaped Us study group counters these Right-wing narratives to expose the veiled origins and lasting impacts of chattel slavery, unraveling historical truths that we never confronted in school.

In each of the 7 study group sessions, participants will come face-to-face with our role in past and present anti-Blackness, and we’ll leave with both stronger roots in an anti-racist community and a series of concrete steps to resist the persistent re-establishment of white supremacy.

CRCAA is organizing a 7-session virtual study group for anti-racist white people to study chattel slavery. Register by Feb. 1 at bit.ly/hssu-2026 (link in bio)

In this study group, we will examine key aspects of the institution of chattel slavery in the U.S., focusing on the various roles white people played in the development, maintenance and demise of that system.

We will explore how turning human beings into commodities shaped our governments, cultures, and the global economy.

We will examine how this historically unique institution built the wealth of white people as a group – and how it developed a cross-class alliance of white people dedicated to maintaining white supremacy.

We will trace the connections from chattel slavery to the most urgent crises of our time: from extreme economic inequality, to mass incarceration, to housing, to climate change, to mass shootings, to the rising tide of fascism.

We will study how white nationalists are contending for control over the narrative of American slavery, and we will develop skills needed to counter-organize under the current fascist administration.

Most importantly, this curriculum will equip white people to play a strategic and necessary role in the ongoing struggle against white supremacy using CRC’s framework of the 5 Methods to Divest of White Power and Weaponize White Privilege in support of Black self determination.

Chattel slavery shaped the conditions we live in – our government, culture, global economy, and the very idea of a “white race.”

Yet, much of the white community has a surface-level understanding of this history and how it affects us today.

White nationalists seek to monopolize the narrative of this history: in schools, in legislatures, and in our communities.

Anti-racist white folks must be equipped to win this fight.

The abolition of slavery was not the end of white supremacy, *and* the legal emancipation of enslaved African people in the U.S. was an enormous turning point in world history.

How white people participated in and fought against slavery offers lessons for white people in the struggle against white supremacy today.

Will we see the great turning point against white supremacy in our lifetimes? What role will we play in the downfall of white supremacy?

IF YOU MAD ABOUT NIKKI I GOT SOME S**T
THAT SHOULD REALLY P**S YOU OFF:
Turning Point USA in Oakland Cheyenne Kenney Hammerlock and the Recall Right

With all the justifiable ourrage aboit Nickki Minaj's appearances and her decision to align herself publicly with Turning Point USA on a national stage. And there are real reasons people are upset. Nicki Minaj has praised Donald Trump amplified misleading narratives about violence in Nigeria and appeared at Turning Point USA events. Those choices matter. They signal alignment. They legitimize a political project. They deserve scrutiny. But it is disingenuous to perform outrage about Nicki Minaj and Turning Point USA nationally while being complicit and complacent about Turning Point USA’s movements and its surrogates operating right here in Oakland.
The Nicki s**t is loud.
But the Oakland s**t is real.
Let’s start where the Oakland story actually starts.
Hammerlock
Elizabeth Kenney and Travis Kenney are members of the punk band Hammerlock. The band’s catalog includes openly racist violent and misogynistic titles that are part of the public record.
Examples include
• Sly Little F****t
• Snide Little F****t
• Knock Her Out
• Violence
Hammerlock has long been associated with far right punk scenes. There are alleged ties between figures connected to that scene and Proud Boys adjacent circles as well as alleged connections to January 6 related activity.
Cheyenne Kenney
Cheyenne Kenney the daughter of Elizabeth Kenney and Travis Kenney of Hammerlock is the leader of Turning Point USA in the Bay Area and Oakland. Her position places her directly inside a national MAGA aligned political organization operating locally in Oakland. This is a direct line from cultural background to political leadership.

WHAT TURNING POINT USA IS:

Turning Point USA is a national right wing political organization focused on youth recruitment activist training media production and political pipeline building. It feeds people into campaigns conservative media local pressure efforts and institutional influence operations.
Founded and led for years by Charlie Kirk the organization is closely aligned with MAGA politics and structured to embed conservative ideology into spaces that do not always appear overtly partisan. It relies on culture war framing faith language and crisis narratives rather than explicit party branding.
Turning Point USA does not just mobilize voters. It builds ecosystems.
Turning Point USA in Oakland
In Oakland Turning Point USA has not been peripheral. It has been a critical part of the Recall Right ecosystem and a critical part of the broader political environment shaping Oakland’s civic life.
The Recall Right is not defined by recalls alone. Recalls are a tactic. The Recall Right is an ecosystem.
That ecosystem includes
• Narrative pressure around crime disorder and moral collapse
• Media amplification and repetition doomloops
• Local surrogates who normalize MAGA/Right-wing ideology

Turning Point USA fits into this ecosystem by supplying framing trained political actors and legitimacy pipelines that allow Recall Right politics to move across multiple arenas without always being labeled as right wing.
This is how national organizations embed locally.
They don’t announce themselves.
They normalize themselves.

THE OAKLAND NAACP IN N OUT PRAYER GATHERING:

One of the most visible local engagements involving Turning Point USA’s Oakland area leadership occurred at the In N Out prayer gathering where Cheyenne Kenney spoke publicly.
The event was organized by the Oakland NAACP along with local pastors and faith leaders with Acts Full Gospel Church listed as the rain location meaning the gathering would move indoors there if weather made the outdoor site impractical.
The significance of this moment is not confusion about who was present. It is the fact that Turning Point USA aligned leadership was given space and legitimacy within a civic and faith adjacent forum during a period of heightened political tension in Oakland.
This reflects a broader pattern in Oakland’s political environment where national right wing actors are able to participate openly in local civic spaces while operating through alignment rather than explicit branding.
Turning Point USA does not lead locally with MAGA branding.
It leads with presence proximity and narrative coordination.
That visibility matters because it is how national political machinery establishes and maintains local legitimacy.
The Oakland expression is real because it shapes outcomes.
This is not about supporting or opposing recalls.
Recalls are a tactic.
The issue is the ecosystem using them alongside many other tactics.
If you want to understand what this looks like in Oakland don’t stop at rallies or personalities. Watch Council.
Watch the votes not the speeches.
Watch who aligns when it matters.
Watch who abstains who’s absent and who becomes the swing.
Watch how unpopular outcomes get reframed afterward as common sense.
This is how power embeds.
It doesn’t always announce itself as MAGA.
It shows up as safety order faith and doing what’s necessary.
And then it hardens into political alignment.
If accountability is the goal the focus cannot stop at individuals. It has to include the organizations the networks and the local machinery shaping political outcomes in Oakland.
That includes Turning Point USA and the Recall Right ecosystem.
What must be done
Naming the problem is not enough. If Turning Point USA and the Recall Right ecosystem have been shaping Oakland’s political environment then the response has to be organized disciplined and local.

• Stop treating this as episodic.
These dynamics are ongoing not one off moments.

• Map the local network by members.
Elected officials and appointed commissioners
Faith leaders and nonprofit heads
Media figures and narrative amplifiers
Political operatives and consultants
Campus and youth organizers
Board and commission appointees

• Watch Council with discipline.
Votes attendance abstentions alignment patterns.

• Challenge "common sense" framing immediately.
Crime panic and moral urgency are political tools.

• Build parallel legitimacy.
Faith spaces nonprofits and civic forums or any political space for that matter cannot be ceded by default.

• Name the infrastructure not just the messengers.
Pipelines matter more than personalities.

• Prioritize contribution over catchphrase.
Slogans don’t build power. Organization does.

• Organize for durability not outrage.
Outrage spikes. Structure lasts.

The Nicki s**t is loud.
But the Oakland s**t is real.
And real problems require structure clarity and organization.
The Nicki s**t is loud.
But the Oakland s**t is real.
And real problems require structure clarity and organization.

I loved coming to the Good Neighbor clean up! It was great to meet neighbors, housed and unhoused, who care about this city. It can feel like there are so many things dividing us these days. But we had a big mix of people! Being out there reminded me of the power and impact we have when we come together.

We split up into groups, one prepping food and serving it to people in the community alongside folks from Woods Street commons. Woods street folks made some delicious food!! Another group went with CRC and cleaned up piles of garbage around the encampment and under the freeway. I got in a good sweat and learned some good things along the way— work smarter, not harder!

Cars that drove past were cheering and honking when they saw CRC’s garbage truck. I really got to see how much people love and appreciate them for the work they’re doing.

Definitely encourage allies in the Bay Area to come out to be part of these events! Thank you for bringing on the ground solutions and creating the space where we can build community with our unhoused neighbors ❤️✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻🌈🧹

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and we are so happy to be at the Good Neighbor Cleanup 🧹❤️✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻🌈🏡

The Good Neighbor Cleanup is a Community Ready Corps (CRC) initiative led in coalition with Care for Community (C4C), Wood Street Commons, bringing housed and unhoused neighbors together to keep Oakland clean while we fight for housing that gets our neighbors off the streets.

Hating on homeless people is playing a more and more central role in the authoritarian Right’s recruitment efforts. This is similar to how the Alt-Right used misogyny (the hatred of women) as a recruitment tool to pull lonely, alienated young men into the Alt-Right. Now, fascists are strategically exploiting people’s frustrations and fears about growing homelessness to create a pipeline to extreme Right-wing ideology. 

The Right has poured millions of dollars into establishing a narrative that homelessness is “a human problem, not a housing problem.” 

This narrative makes it harder to create solutions that address the root causes of this crisis and easier for the real estate industry to push false solutions like the Encampment Abatement Policy. 

CRC is disrupting that strategy by building community between renters, homeowners, and unhoused neighbors, reminding folks that we have a lot more in common with each other than we do with the people who are profiting from this crisis, and that we ALL deserve a housing system that meets the needs of people, not corporations.

CRC’s 5 Methods teach us that there are enough resources to meet everybody’s needs, but white supremacy systems were not designed to meet human needs. Lack, scarcity, and poverty are manufactured by these systems in order to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of the very few. Reject the lie of scarcity and rediscover your shared interest in reclaiming the abundant resources that can fulfill every human need.

CRC created CRCAA and the 5 Methods as a framework for how white people can be more effective in our efforts to fight white supremacy and support Black self-determination. Learn more about The 5 Methods to Divest of White Power and Weaponize White Privilege at the5methods.org.

3% of the United States population owns half of the country’s (over 391 million) fi****ms 😳

The type of person who stockpiles weapons fits a very specific profile: white men who are anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market, and beset with racial fears.

We constantly hear white people say, “I oppose racism, but I don’t know what I can do!” The 5 Methods are what you can do! You can apply these principles wherever you find yourself. 

All white people, including white progressives, liberals, and radicals, ALL perpetuate white supremacy in the movement, and we need to deal with that if we really want to win.
