OAKLAND -- Businesses and families rallied on Sunday afternoon in front of city hall to show unity and fight for a safer Oakland.Before attending the rally, one shop owner was cleaning up her clothing store after someone broke in early that morning.'On Easter and to be violated this way -- it just feels terrible,' said Oakland designer Taylor Jay.Surveillance footage showed that, around 5:30 a.m., a masked man used a hammer to smash the store's glass door and then kicked it open.
We don't want to die here,' Jay said.Demonstrators Sunday said they intended to avoid politics at the rally and were seeking unity.'If we have a little more unity, we can start listening to each other and stop arguing and come up with solutions,' said downtown Oakland restaurant owner Nigel Jones.Jones said that, while he thanks Gov. Gavin Newsom for installing surveillance cameras and sending CHP officers into Oakland, the governor can do more.
