As a former union boss, Seneca Scott was involved in deciding who would be elected “for the people”. “I was a hired gun... Now I am organizing for my family, for my neighbors, for the elders who are scared to walk down the street”.

“Oakland is going backwards...Our policies have created a emergent Apocalypse, a modern day hellscape...We have no choice. If we want to live in Oakland, I have to fight”, said Seneca Scott, a community activist and founder of Neighbors together Oakland. According to Scott, the corruption in the city is deep-rooted and institutional. He said the “phony” progressives and the “spineless” business people have all contributed to the problem.

Today, he will take a deep dive into the issues that contributed to the decline of Oakland and how it can be turned around from the root.
