## Caption

Twenty thousand Oaklanders are receiving letters asking how they want to fill approximately 3,500 vacant lots and storefronts across the city. Of those who respond by mail by July 17, 40 will be selected to form a civic assembly and draft a plan.

In collaboration with the UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy, a newly formed Community Steering Committee composed of East Bay-based community leaders has created an initiative to bring Oakland residents directly into the decision-making process for their community.

The idea for the Civic Assembly emerged from conversations between UC Berkeley professor Angela Blackwell and Goldman School Dean David Wilson.
