Apr 30 / San Pablo Local Organizing Committee

Summer of Resistance

✨ May–August 2025

This is a strategic 12-week Stop Cop City—Bay Area communal call to action and campaign focused on public visibility, base-building, political education, and direct pressure.
San Pablo is nearing completion of a 42,000-square-foot police headquarters and regional training complex.

The $47 million Cop Campus is not just a local police expansion. It’s a blueprint for Bay Area-wide militarized policing, surveillance coordination, and public resource extraction—built without resident consent, pandemic recovery dollars, and $30M in debt.

Behind closed doors, departments from Richmond, Hercules, to Santa Rosa are already signed on—gaining access to gun ranges, drone-as-first responders, VR use-of-force simulators, and regional surveillance infrastructure.

We refuse to let San Pablo become a pilot project for regional repression. We are rising across city lines to stop the facility, reclaim public money, and demand investment in true safety: programs, youth, healing, and care.

San Pablo may be the construction site
—but this fight is regional.

This is your invitation.
Find your role. Pull up.

We call on our communities to:
  1. Expose Cop Campus’s true purpose
  2. Build the infrastructure for sustained community resistance
  3. Encourage Bay Area residents to organize
  4. Make Cop Campus politically, financially, and morally untenable

Why Is This Is
A Regional Fight?

What’s being built in San Pablo threatens all of us. 

Cop Campus is a $47M blueprint for Bay-wide militarized policing, surveillance coordination, and protest suppression.

If we don’t stop it here, it will replicate across the Bay.
This is our movement to shut it down.

Regional Surveillance

San Pablo hosts 300+ cameras, 100+ ALPRs, and drone towers—outpacing Oakland, Vallejo, and Richmond.

A Regional Precedent

If this succeeds, it normalizes exclusionary planning, public deception, and militarized infrastructure across the Bay.

Shared Costs, Shared Responsibility

Cop Campus is financed through debt and rental contracts. Every regional agency onboard helps fund and legitimize it.

Regional Facility, Regional Fight

Cop Campus escalates coordinated police operations, expands surveillance of dissent, and deepens criminalization—especially for Black, Brown, and low-income communities.


We are fighting to reclaim Cop Campus for community use. 

Public health crises, housing insecurity, and youth disconnection continue to rise—yet Bay Area leadership continues to overspend on police infrastructure instead of services for people.

 What Could This Space Become?

A vibrant community space with:
  • mental health care, Narcan access & a teen clinic
  • youth tech & e-sports lounge, tutoring, + college & career prep
  • drop-in childcare & parent support hub
  • free legal aid, housing navigation & a warming shelter
  • bike repair, sewing labs & a tool library
  • art galleries, poetry & performance space
  • a co-op café, fresh produce stalls & rotating pop-up vendors
  • classrooms for GEDs, ESL, job skills & financial literacy
  • a small business co-working space
  • robotics, fabrication, & maker spaces
  • free wifi, gathering spaces, & quiet zones for elders & teens

We believe in a future rooted in care, creativity, and collective power.

What We're Getting Instead

A $47M police complex with gun ranges, surveillance towers, VR use-of-force training, luxury amenities, and large offices for police officers.  
This is a waste of public funds—and a betrayal of public needs.

What Are We Doing About It?

We’re organizing block by block and across the Bay:
  • Petition drives & city council pressure
  • Canvassing every district with your help
  • Hosting teach-ins, healing circles & art builds
  • Demanding to repurpose the site

We’re not just resisting—we’re reclaiming what’s ours.

Stop Cop Campus.
Reclaim The Bay.
