This is an excellent petition for a huge problem. Dumping is a crime, and it encourages more -- and worse -- crime. East Oakland is being ignored while Downtown is being revitalized. This exacerbates existing disparities and makes East Oakland's feel that the city government is doesn't care about us. Please prove us wrong.

Everyone should be able to live in a clean city.

It's hard to believe that the people of East Oakland have more trash than people in Rockridge or Montclair. I do believe that people want their neighborhoods to look cleaner and just need some encouragement and extra resources for awhile to make it happen.

Residents cannot do this alone. We need the full support of our elected officials. Time to help us keep Oakland cleaner!

I've been a resident of Oakland for over 40 years; was proud to be one at one time; but have witnessed a demise that I'd never thought possible; and it seems as if our City leaders, officials as well as others have been asleep at the "wheel" and it's time to wake up and make Oakland a wonderful place to reside and/or visit once again!

Oakland is beautiful and it should not be a dumping ground for trash.

Trash in east oakland is a growing problem. The streets are dirty and its causing a massive infestation of rats, ants and bugs.

this problem is widespread throughout all of East Oakland, including East Oakland Hills. Why not have a free dump day once a year (with proof of Oakland residency) to help curtail the dumping, as well as a campaign against it.

We need our tax dollars to be spent on our own neighborhoods, not just the affluent areas.

It breaks my heart to see my neighborhood consistently strewn with not just litter but heaping piles of trash! It's time to speak out and help in the effort to turn this around. Please help us #CleanupEastOakland

We need your help Libby! Strict enforcement and following through on making violators pay fines needs to be a high priority. Fund this effort with the violators $$. Please include East Oakland in your plan to beautify all of Oakland !! You have a city of people who are ready, willing and able to help you make all of OUR Oakland a beautiful city again.

Whether one owns property, is a tenant, retailer, consumer, visitor or etc. a clean city should be considered an inalienable right.
