Last week on February 27th, East Point had the privilege to partner with activists from Idle No More SF, 1,000 Grandmothers for Future Generations and the Climate Justice Street Mural Project for another mural action! Led by members of Extinction Rebellion SF Bay, we blockaded the street right outside of the Oakland Federal Building and painted this beautiful mural with a clear message to the Biden and Harris administration: STOP LINE 3 & DAPL - BUILD BACK FOSSIL FREE!!!

On either side of the message are smaller murals designed by 12 different community organizations showing what their vision of a Fossil Free future could look like!

Check out the collection of pictures, videos and media coverage below. 

Check out a short video documenting the action. Video by Maya Media, with music by the Peace Poets.
