Three Latino Powerhouses Unite to Reclaim Oakland, Expose Corruption and Mobilize Voters Across Ever

OAKLAND, Calif. - April 8, 2025 - PRLog -- Oakland's Latino community has had enough—and we're not alone. As the city drowns in a $200 million deficit, crime surges, fire stations close, and basic city services collapse, three unapologetically independent Latino-led forces are rising to the front lines to say:

No more.

Today marks the official launch of a three-pronged movement to restore power, accountability, and equity to every block in Oakland—from Fruitvale and Eastmont to West Oakland and the hills. Led by the newly activated:

• Oakland Latino Business Association (501(c)(3))
• Oakland Latino Business Association Advocacy Committee (501(c)(4))
• Oakland Latino Business Association Political Action Committee (PAC)

Together, these organizations will ignite a full-scale civic campaign to expose failure at the top, defend underserved communities, and drive a new era of leadership that answers to the people—not to backroom deals.

Why This Matters Right Now

• $200 Million Budget Deficit and growing—with zero accountability.
• Federal indictments against ex-Mayor Sheng Thao—and her insider crew still controls the city.
• City Administrator Justin Johnson, handpicked by Harold Duffy, continues to push policy failures that devastate Black, Latino, and working-class families.
• Voter initiatives passed by Oaklanders are being ignored—our votes are being treated like trash.
• City services are collapsing: fire stations shut down, crime rises, and neighborhoods are abandoned.

"Oakland isn't broken—it's being sabotaged from the inside," said Mario Juarez, Executive Director of the Oakland Latino Business Association. "We're done waiting for justice. Now we're building it—loud, local, and legally unstoppable."

Who We Are and What We're Doing

1. Oakland Latino Business Association (501(c)(3))

A truth-telling, community-driven powerhouse exposing how Oakland's budget failures and corrupt leadership are robbing Latino and Black neighborhoods of public safety, services, and justice. We'll publish weekly reports, district-specific breakdowns, and launch street-level campaigns to inform and activate voters.

2. Advocacy Committee (501(c)(4))

We're the policy bulldozer—amplifying Latino and allied voices, pushing legal reform, and partnering with Black, Indigenous, and immigrant groups to demand real enforcement of city laws, budget transparency, and a stop to political protection rackets.

3. Political Action Committee (PAC)

We're the muscle of the movement—funded by Oaklanders who are done with the lies. We're planning:

• Ballot measures to repair the city budget, enforce fiscal oversight, and bring direct democracy back to the people.
• City charter reforms to restructure power away from corrupt insiders.
• Recall campaigns targeting any elected official who fails to serve all communities equally—from Fruitvale to Deep East.

Oakland Voters Deserve More—And We're Delivering It

This campaign cuts across racial lines. It's not just about Latinos—it's about every forgotten family in Brookfield, every Black homeowner in Eastmont, every Chinatown small business, and every immigrant mother holding it down with no help from City Hall.

We've formed coalitions with:

• Black community organizers
• Asian-American advocacy groups
• Women-led grassroots teams
• Immigrant defense coalitions

Together, we will reclaim our streets, our taxes, and our city.

What's Next

• "Truth Drop" Reports launching April 2025—budget fraud, broken services, and who's behind them.
• District-Wide Town Halls starting in Fruitvale, then hitting every corner of the city.
• PAC-Backed Legislation & Recalls launching Summer 2025.
• Digital & Print Mobilization Campaigns rolling out via text, mailers, radio, and billboards.
