Details:
Oakland residents, community groups, organizations, arts groups and local small businesses facing the biggest housing and inequality crisis of our time are standing together in solidarity to block displacement. We are celebrating Oakland roots and collective power and raising our voices in rhythm and unison to demand a right to a roof and the city. Join us for this mobile happening featuring art, music and a series of powerful speakers highlighting how we can help each other hold onto home. This powerfully creative, family-friendly event will build momentum to push for a moratorium on evictions and rent hikes.

Multiple groups, fighting for equity and housing, aim to build a stronger, connected anti-displacement movement. We have to become a force to be reckoned with as our politicians continue to sell our land and city out from under us. With the influx of tech wealth and real estate speculation, we need a network that we can depend on showing up as we receive eviction notices and commercial spaces receive 100-200% rent increases. Join us April 1st to plug into the action, gather know-your-rights resources and tether together to hold onto our homes and community spaces.
