Civic Honor to the "Enough Is Enough!" Signers

In the month leading up to a March 7, 2006 rally at City Hall, more than 1,100 Oakland residents signed the "Enough Is Enough!" petition.

The petition signers demanded that "the City of Oakland address the needs of our community and immediately confront the persistent shortage of available officers on the street." For the complete text of the petition, click here.

The list of signers is impressive, even more so the heartfelt comments they wrote.

A few persons who put themselves forward as neighborhood activists knew about the petition but did not sign it. Especially notable among these was the chair of the Community Policing Advisory Board at the time, Don Link, who actually attacked the whole movement. You can search for any name in the list below.

Note: Over 100 people also signed paper copies of the petition.
