Tides Statement on 580 Incident

horizontal rule

It is with great dismay that we have learned that Tides Foundation was a potential target of Byron Williams, who was arrested on Interstate 580 in Oakland over the weekend. Tides has no previous knowledge of or relationship with Mr. Williams. While the investigation is going on, Tides is not going to speculate about the incident. Our staff is our prime concern in this matter and we have taken additional security measures for their safety. If you are a member of the media and have additional questions, please contact Christine Coleman at ccoleman(at)tides.org.
