(KRON) -- Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is "incapable of leading our city," NAACP leaders declared on Monday. The Oakland Branch of the NAACP is throwing its support behind recalling Thao from office and blasting her leadership. "The NAACP fervently believes that Mayor Thao poses a serious threat to the well-being of our great City. Her actions and inactions have clearly demonstrated her inability to govern thus endangering the safety of Oaklanders," leaders of the branch wrote. Thao's campaign spokesperson sent KRON4 a statement on Monday in response to the NAACP's decision. The spokesperson wrote, "Thanks to Mayor Thao’s reorganization of the police department, her strong partnership with Governor Newsom and her implementation of data-driven strategies -- Oakland (has) seen a 35% decrease in overall crime, an 18% increase in foot traffic in downtown Oakland, and is on track for fewer than 100 homicides for the first time since 2019. That’s why Oakland residents, faith leaders & businesses are saying NO to the Recall of Mayor Thao."

"Shortly after taking office in 2023, Mayor Thao precipitously fired our Police Chief, LeRonne Armstrong, who was doing an excellent job in fighting crime in Oakland." Ex-Oakland police chief Armstrong says he is ‘vindicated,’ deserves job back "Shortly after firing the Police Chief, we began to see a rise in crime and today, Public Safety has become a serious issue." Oakland crime down 33 percent, according to Gov. Newsom "When Governor Gavin Newsom offered a retail theft grant to help Oakland deal with the rising crime rate, the Mayor incompetently missed the filing deadline for the Grant." Lack of Oakland leadership led to missing retail theft prevention grant deadline: audit "As Public Safety spiraled out of control, Mayor Thao waited, for almost a year, to select a new police chief, thus exhibiting a callous disregard for Public Safety as businesses fled the city because of a belief that 'it’s not safe for businesses to operate in Oakland.'" Rampant crime leaves another Oakland business on the brink "The budget crisis and the sale of Oakland’s interest in the coliseum have exacerbated the problem, making clear that Oakland cannot afford the luxury of keeping a Mayor in office who is incapable of leading our City."

In June, the mayoral recall effort received enough signatures to appear on the November ballot. Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao (OUST) said its petition received 40,595 signatures, far more than the 25,000 needed to force a recall election. Most of the money that’s been pumped into a recall campaign came from just one person, Philip Dreyfuss, according to campaign finance records obtained by KRON4. Dreyfuss donated $605,000 between January 1 and June 30 this year, records show.  FBI agents carry boxes of evidence out of Sheng Thao's Oakland home on June 20, 2024.

So far, federal officials have not revealed who nor what it is investigating. Coliseum Chaos The Oakland Coliseum sale is Thao's most recent controversy. One month after an agreement was signed for the city to sell its stake in the Oakland Coliseum, the city has still not received money from the group that agreed to purchase it, three city councilmembers said. The deal was for the city to sell its 50% stake in the former Oakland A’s ballpark to the African American Sports and Entertainment Group for $105 million. If the deal does not go through, Oakland will have to enact drastic budget cuts to several city departments.

Councilmembers Janani Ramachandran, Treva Reid, and Noel Gallo said the city was supposed to receive a $15 million payment by Sept. 23 -- and it still has not arrived. The City Council is holding a special meeting on Monday about the Coliseum sale agreement.
