THIS IS THE OAKLAND KTVU MAYORAL DEBATE SITUATION ROOM ON THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY IN OAKLAND
THIS IS THE OAKLAND KTVU MAYORAL DEBATE SITUATION ROOM ON THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY IN OAKLAND. This first of its kind meeting livestream starts Tuesday March 11th at 5 PM PST - 8 PM EST. On today, Tuesday March 11th, KTVU is holding an Oakland Mayoral Debate featuring just two of the 10 candidates running in the April 15th 2025 Oakland Mayoral Special Election. Former Congresswoman Barbara Lee and Former Oakland City Councilmember Loren Taylor are the two, and their donor organizations commanding a combined $600,000 have tabbed KTVU to produce the event. KTVU has not invited any other candidate. That caused the creation of this "OAKLAND KTVU MAYORAL DEBATE SITUATION ROOM ON THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY IN OAKLAND". Money has guided this campaign more than any other and crowded out the voices of 2025 Oakland Mayoral Candidates Cristina Grappo, Tyron Jordan, Peter Liu, Mindy Pechenuk, Suz Robinson, Eric Simpson, Elizabeth Swaney, and Renia Webb. The purpose of this event is to introduce the candidates and also present the case stating why this KTVU event has the appearance of corruption. The first reason is the organizations behind the KTVU Debate: Black Action Alliance and Empower Oakland. The Black Action Alliance is reportedly funded by a man named Philip Dreyfuss, who is not black. Empower Oakland is an advocacy group started by Loren Taylor, who is also an Oakland Mayoral Candidate. So, Loren is, in effect, producing his own promotional event, much like Logan Paul would stage his own boxing match against Mike Tyson. But that's sports and entertainment; this is about who runs Oakland. There are a great many people upset with this. You will meet many of the Oakland Mayoral Candidates and hear them state their case for the importance of maintaining an accessible democracy and what that looks like to them. We also welcome all Oaklanders to join us for this much needed event. Remember: EXTREMISM IN DEFENSE OF OAKLAND IS NO VICE!
