  By partnering with the city and the community we foster a more inclusive, equitable, and engaged Oakland.
• Inspiring civic engagement.

• Empowering Oaklanders.
  We recognize that Oakland has a rich history of activism. We seek to empower all Oaklanders to keep advocating for our community‘s collective well-being.
