Citizens Oakland publishes
Oakland Report
Our mission is to make truth more accessible to all Oakland residents.
Oakland Report has been cited by San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Standard, and East Bay Times for its investigations on Oakland’s crime rates and budget.
Data-driven
Oakland Report fills a gap for evidence-based analysis of local issues.
“Really about as clear of a discussion of the budget as I’ve seen in 25 years of following (and participating in) Oakland politics.”
— Former City Council and Mayoral staffer”When polarization and misinformation are everywhere, this publication gives me real hope.
