OAKLAND — A group of Laney College students, Chinatown and Eastlake activists and an organization representing tenants are holding a rally Tuesday morning to oppose a new baseball stadium on land owned by the Peralta Community College District.
Following the 11:30 a.m. rally at district headquarters on E. 8th Street, there will be a tour of the site and nearby neighborhoods. The Oakland A’s last week announced the Peralta site as their preferred location for a new ballpark.
Members of the Oakland Chinatown Coalition, Save Laney Land for Students Coalition, Eastlake United for Justice, Coalition of Advocates for Lake Merritt, 5th Avenue Waterfront Community Alliance, Just Cause Oakland and the Oakland Tenants Union are organizing the event.
