At a rally in front of Oakland City Hall, community groups demanded no cuts to city funding for many of their programs, ahead of Wednesday's city council budget meeting.
Oakland faces a historic deficit. That means cuts across the board, including to the Department of Violence Prevention. That department funds local community groups like CURYJ, Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice. Part of their work is working with young people coming out of prison, and frontline workers in the community - who some call violence interrupters. It could face $600,000 in cuts.
And many of these groups are critical of the close to $40 million dollar increase in funding for the Oakland Police Department. At Wednesday's budget meeting, she is proposing to increase funding for violence prevention by more than $2 million.
