We are kicking off our annual winter items drive for our unhoused neighbors. This is the hardest season for those living curbside, so let’s bring some immediate warmth and protection against rain. We are collecting new or gently used items.

We in a state of emergency in Oakland. We need all hands on deck. Community leaders, politicians, educators, religious leaders, activist, business owners, youth, artist, media, everybody. How can we all come together and address the violence in our city and say No more? #lovelife

Hundreds of students are marching through downtown Oakland today to protest against climate injustice

We’re heartbroken and enraged with the loss of life and violence happening within our Town.

Everyone should live life free from violence, and no one should feel unsafe on our streets.

This 12-year-old from Oakland was never given the benefit of the doubt. Every article when this 1st happened implied it was a deliberate act. No one considered it could've been an accident. This would've been covered differently if it occurred in Piedmont https://t.co/G4dNCxtzNp

How will you co-create spaces where students feel comfortable to learn in their own skin (this school year & beyond)?

We'd love for you to share how you plan to cultivate a thriving learning community. Please let us know in the comments section below.
