Since we won in City Council last year, we've been hard at work making sure the City of Oakland uses public land for public good. As a result of that hard work, we are currently in an exclusive negotiating agreement with the city to build a people's proposal on the E. 12th remainder parcel.

It's been a long, hard-fought battle, and though the work isn't over, there is a lot to celebrate. So we thought we'd invite you to come join us to do that.

We will be gathering on Sunday, April 16th for a celebration! We'll bring refreshments and good vibes; you bring a friend, neighbor, or family member and your best ideas for the E. 12th parcel. In addition to celebrating our victories, we'll do some updating to the visioning work we did together in 2015.

We will be gathering at the Lake Merritt Amphitheater. It's not quite marked correctly on the event map, but it's across Lake Merritt Blvd. from the Kaiser Convention Center and near to where the pin is dropped on the map.

Please rapid test before coming to this event. Bring a mask to wear while you're standing close to other attendees. If you've got symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive, please stay home.
