MOVING TOWARD A SAFER OAKLAND by BRYAN PARKER, Oakland Mayoral Candidate (w/ video)

It is important that we honor the victims of crime in Oakland.  Whether the crime is a violent one, robbery or murder we must show compassion.

Compassion alone, however, is not enough.  Making Oakland safer will take thoughtful leadership that will develop a robust vision for exactly how Oakland becomes more safe.  We must move toward a vision of being one city to fully realize this goal.

Let's start this important conversation.  It begins with all of us.  This is about a movement, not about an election, toward a safer city.  
Please take a look at this video from the Bryan Parker for Oakland Mayor campaign and let's start the conversation.
