OCA-East Bay PickITup – 2022

“In the past six years we’ve cleared hundreds of pounds of trash and illegal dumping out of the Chinatown, have abated graffiti, and planted/watered new trees in the neighborhood. Meetup spot is Wilma Chan Park (formerly known as Madison Park) on 9th and Jackson Streets. Even if the Mask Mandates are lifted and we are outside, we strongly encourage and prefer people to wear PPE whenever possible. In the PickITup’s we’ve done this year we’ve been thankful for the support of groups including: Oakland City Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas Oakland Public Work’s Adopt A Spot program Asian Youth Services Committee BuildOn at Oakland High School Boy Scout Troop 201 and many others If you’ve already filled out this release form before, you don’t need to again: https://forms.gle/XNca97aRZH6KXPeH9 In response to some of the community safety concerns in Chinatown, there has been an increased police presence as well as ambassador and volunteer patrols in the area.
