The State of Black Organizing: Oakland and Beyond

Birthed from the vibrant history of Black power organizing right here in Oakland, the BlackOUT Collective turns 10! Come celebrate with us.
About this Event

Come check us out in the Vista Room at the Lakeside Park Garden Center!

We will be delving into the history of Black direct action, the current state of Black organizing, and the enduring relevance of the BlackOUT Collective in resourcing, building, and sustaining Black power movements. Join us in an interactive conversation as we begin a dialogue on Black power movement past and today.

BlackOUT Collective is a radical full service direct action organization. We build organizations’ capacity to execute creative and effective direct actions in service of their organizing and advocacy work. We do this through providing personalized direct action trainings and on the ground action support. We see ourselves as a “Liberation Lab”- a container for experimentation, deep space visioning and learning.
