The Coalition of Advocates for Lake Merritt (CALM), formed in early 2000, opposes the sale of parkland and city-owned property at Lake Merritt for private development, and advocates for Lake Merritt revitalization. This collection focuses primarily on CALM's opposition to a 2000 proposal to sell off the Fire Alarm Building site and a 2001 proposal to sell off the parking lot at the Oakland Auditorium. John E. Klein, a leader of and spokesperson for CALM, donated this collection to the Oakland History Room.
