We’re looking for volunteers to join Oakland Rising at BART stations across Oakland to connect directly with community members and remind them to vote! 🗳️

Voting shapes our communities, yet too many people miss important information about their voting rights, where to vote, and when to vote. That’s why we’re organizing Get Out The Vote (GOTV) visibility actions to help make sure our neighbors feel informed, empowered, and ready to vote!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our voting block party yesterday at Brookfield Elementary school!

It was a beautiful day to be in community, make art, play games, eat really good food, and more than anything vote!

More pictures and reflections coming soon. For now, we are full of gratitude and joy ❤️‍🔥

Public records reveal how Jestin Johnson and other officials were pressured to close encampments by developers, and in at least one case, the governor.

Voting is more than a civic duty, it’s a celebration of our community’s power! Too often, voting feels like standing in a long, draining DMV line. It doesn’t have to feel that way, and nor should it!

Our grandparents and great-grandparents organized and fought for the right to vote. We are not long removed from a time when Black and Brown people were denied the right to vote, and unfortunately, the voting rights our people died for are being chipped away every day. We refuse that reality. WE choose to show up with intention, pride, in community, and with joy.

Votar es más que un deber cívico, ¡es una celebración del poder de nuestra comunidad! Con demasiada frecuencia, votar se siente como hacer una larga y agotadora fila en una oficina del DMV. ¡No tiene que ser así y tampoco tiene que serlo!

Nuestros abuelos y bisabuelos se organizaron y lucharon por el derecho a votar. Hace no tanto tiempo vivíamos en una época en la que a las personas afroamericanas y morenas se les negaba el derecho a votar y, lamentablemente, los derechos electorales por los que nuestra gente dio la vida están siendo erosionados todos los días. Nos rehusamos a aceptar esta realidad. NOSOTROS vamos a optar por participar con determinación, orgullo, en comunidad y con alegría.

Not a day goes by that our team isn’t working to advance the political education our communities need ❤️‍🔥

Not only to understand the threats facing our democracy (locally and nationally), but to organize and fight back together!

The people have always had the power!!!

When we unite in struggle, stay disciplined in action, and invest in each other’s safety, health, and joy, we can defeat the authoritarian, mass-surveillance, conservative agenda that is threatening our future.

We will win. And it starts with education.

Deep gratitude to our partners at and for inviting us into conversation and creating space to speak to this moment and, most importantly, to build collective action together!

Tis the season to vote! 🗳️ The June Primary is almost here, and there’s a lot on the ballot. Our voter guide breaks down the measures, explains your voting rights, and helps you find where and how to vote.

Take a look, share it with your people, and help spread the word. Democracy works best when all of us show up. Let’s get out the vote! ✨

Our Oakland tax dollars are being handed to some of the most dangerous companies in the entire world. It’s infuriating to watch city leaders continue investing in technology that enables mass surveillance and supports authoritarian violence and oppression across the globe. And no — the fact that other Western governments use these tools does not make them ethical or acceptable.

Thank you to Carroll Fife for standing up for Oakland residents and for people facing repression worldwide.

The surveillance agenda is moving fast, and there’s another opportunity to resist peregrine at tomorrow’s Board of Supervisors meeting.

Show up! Speak out! Demand better for Oakland and Alameda County and for our collective future!

You’ve got to fight for your neighborhood!! 46 years ago Oakland tenants fought and won the rent adjustment ordinance.

Now in 2026, the Rent Adjustment Program board has recommendations to make the city program stronger and better serve the needs of renters and landlords.

But city council doesn’t want to hear it!

The rent adjustment program needs your support. Please share this brief overview of its history with your friends and neighbors and keep your eyes open for the next opportunity to organize and fight for better regulations!
