VIDEO: Watch and support Neighbors Together Oakland

Via their Garden Speaker Series, NTO brings knowledge to Oakland communities, breaking down how their city is being destroyed, and offering intelligent solutions to counter said destruction

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, or if you are aware of the happenings in this part of the country, you’ll know that things are insane not just in this city but in many neighbouring parts of the Bay (not to mention, in large cities across the USA, and I dare say, because certain paradigms are playing out in an uncannily similar chaotic manner across many major cities around across the world).

Homelessness, the fentanyl crisis, rampant crime… these massive and completely unnecessary problems permeate our streets. (They call this “the first world?”) Ordinary people, families and small businesses do not — they cannot — feel safe in such environments, Instead of thriving, we all suffer the effects on the daily.

Luckily we have some sane people working hard on the other side of the Bay Bridge with a specific mission to organize and mobilize communities to rebuild a safe, livable, city.

Neighbors Together Oakland has an ongoing fundraising campaign to support the hosting of more community events this summer. As the founder, Seneca Scott, says:

We are building a burgeoning, post-partisan movement in Oakland, engaging with politics' most innovative and cutting edge minds.

We are asking for resources to continue bringing the most brilliant, independently minded political thinkers to Oakland, a city deep in crisis. There is nowhere else in America where the corrosive effects of the sprawling NGO Industrial Complex are felt more severely. Billionaire-backed, elite activists have pushed their divisive, luxury politics on ordinary working Neighbors, leaving them hungry for answers and actionable solutions to address rampant blight, homelessness, crime and an eroding social fabric. This campaign was created to help provide them with an explanatory framework for Oakland's decline.

In the NTO fundraising campaign video linked below, which I had the pleasure of making, Seneca explains what their Garden Speakers Series events ultimately create:

It is vital to our movement's ethos that these events be free and accessible to everyone, regardless of financial means. We want to ensure that our neighbors, hungry for change, have access to relevant and actionable information that provides them with an explanatory framework for the chaos and blight we currently face.

Here, Neighbors are working to continue the populist vision of my cousin, Coretta Scott King, the wife of Martin Luther King. It's a vision of uplifting all of the American working class, a vision that has been soiled by the divisive identity politics pushed by the elite progressive activist class who are currently destroying our social fabric.

Oakland is at the tip of the spear in the fight against the NGO Industrial Complex. We believe that if we can stop them here, the effects will be felt all across America.

For the above reason, whichever part of the country you are in, I urge you to watch the video (click image below to access), try not to be too horrified, and please support if you can. Every small amount helps.

Seneca goes on walkabout (click image to watch video).

By the way, Seneca Scott is a bona fide badass (follow him on X) who talks the talk and walks the walk.

Speaking of which, every Friday Seneca walks around a different part of Oakland, drone camera above him, filming the tragic squalor of his walkabout, showing the world what the people of Oakland have to contend with.

He is not giving up on his city despite the onerous task of dealing with the degradation.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

Not in Oakland.

Not in San Francisco.

Not in any US city.

(And actually not in any city anywhere in the world.)

Don’t let the elite progressive activist class win! Take action, join forces, and support grassroots efforts! Oh, and make sure you attend their next Garden Speaker Series event…
