EB PREC invites you to an intimate brunch and discussion with three national movers and shakers in the solidarity economy movement NEXT SATURDAY, October 24th from 11am-1pm.

Our Executive Director, Noni Session, will be joined by Nia K. Evans, Executive Director of Boston Ujima Project and Nina Robinson, Interim Managing Director of the Real People's Fund to explore how capital, when deployed through a lens of repair, can build long-term resilience and secure a thriving future for our neighborhoods.

RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/restorative-economics-in-action-tickets-2001672666830?

Together we'll examine how collective ownership counters economic extraction and hyper-individualized capitalism, and why investing in shared ownership models is essential to the resilience and economic sovereignty of the next generation. You'll hear personal journeys, practical insights, and visions for a more equitable, restorative economy from three leaders working at different vantage points. Come ready to learn, connect, and re-imagine the future of wealth in our communities.

Spots are limited, RSVP today! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/restorative-economics-in-action-tickets-2001672666830?

Please note: this event is limited to EB PREC Investors. Interested in becoming an EB PREC Investor Owner? Know someone who’d like to invest?

EB PREC got a nice shout out in Angie Kim's (President & CEO of Center for Cultural Innovation) latest piece in Nonprofit Quarterly. Angie encourages us to think beyond get-out-the-vote campaigns and election cycles and begin making long-term investments in communities that practice small-d "democracy."

Since 2020, the funding push for Black-led groups has quietly been abandoned. Angie's playbook: ask communities what they need, go beyond 501(c)(3)s, and fund without restriction — backing the collectives (like EB PREC!) and land trusts that are actually accountable to the people they serve. 💛

Our Executive Director, Noni Session, will be speaking at UC Berkeley's Journalism School for the release of Ken Light's new book "Soul City", a photographic archive of Black West Oakland in the 1970s.

Taken over two years starting in 1974, Soul City's 120+ photographs reveal the deep pride running through West Oakland, despite the formidable attempts of local governments and agencies to tear the neighborhood apart.

Meet our Museum Research Fellows!

Last summer, we embarked on the development of the 7th Street Museum to hold the corridor’s rich history and help realize Esther's (from Esther’s Orbit Room) greatest ambition: "to see West Oakland come back like it was before."

We’re excited to welcome Naima, Bleu, and Ellena as our first Research Fellowship Cohort. Together, they’ll work to uncover and collect stories about 7th Street across generations which will be presented at the Barn (the historic 7th Street restaurant, EB PREC’s new headquarters, and the future site of the museum). The 7th Street Museum is also one of the projects EB PREC is currently fundraising to support as part of our ongoing Capital Campaign (visit ebprec.org/invest to learn more)!

Follow on all platforms or check out our website 7thstreetmuseum.com to receive updates on our Museum's progress!
