• Boarding Up Businesses
• Possibly Door Repairs
• Cannot do Glass Repairs as that’s a speciality

• Love of Hair Artistry - 318 17th St. Oakland, CA 94612

• “1 of my front windows was broken completely out.”
• “I love the support of the community to keep watch of our businesses if you live in the area. If they can support my business with purchasing products from my online store. Especially now since I can not open the salon due to Covid19. When I am able to open back up, I would love to return the support with jobs in my salon.”

• Garden House - 380 15th St. Oakland, CA 94612

• “6 of our windows were smashed.”
• “First of all we want to say we stand in full solidarity with Black people and are not angry that our shop was hit. We honestly just ask the community to stay vigilant and to protect each other - get organized, protect the youth who may be new to this especially. Garden house has been around since ‘91 and is now run by two Oakland-born and raised siblings and our immigrant mother. We have seen the heartbreaking changes in downtown and across Oakland over the past 10+ years of gentrification - our business was already struggling to survive. We know these injustices are directly a result of injustice against Black people and the working class. We will always stand in solidarity with our community. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Monitor support, boarding up windows, window reinstallation.”

• Saigon Market - 2331 Telegraph Ave, Oakland

• Nothing harmed but requesting support

• Los Tres Potrillos - 4568 International Blvd, Oakland CA 94601

• “Broken windows & doors. Stolen sound system [speakers, mics, all cords & a mix board], TV, several Ukuleles.”
• “We appreciate all donations & prayers!” ~ Meaning financial support via Square is the way to go when supporting the Academy!!

• Botanical Sorcerer’s Gallery - 343 15th St. Oakland CA 94612

• “Vintage front glass window ( 8' x  12") smashed with a hammer; Artwork damaged in attempt to steal.”
• “I would like the community to become more aware of the need to PLANT FOOD NOW!  We are not getting the messaging from our leadership on this matter, and it is one of the key things that I do out of the gallery and plant store -- promote gardening for resilience.  Fixing my window would allow light back into the space so I can take plants downtown from my off site production space.”
