Immigration is a cornerstone of Oakland’s identity — shaping neighborhoods, powering small businesses, and enriching our cultural life.
Join us for The Oaklandside’s Culture Makers for an evening of community, conversation, and performance.

The Oaklandside’s Arts and Community Reporter Azucena Rasilla will be in conversation with Abby Sullivan Engen, Immigrants’ Rights Co-Directing Attorney at Centro Legal de la Raza, Gabriela Galicia, Executive Director of Street Level Health Project and Leva Zand, Founder and Executive Director of ARTogether. Together, they’ll share stories from Oakland’s immigrant communities and highlight critical resources — from navigating legal challenges and accessing health care to uplifting immigrant voices through the arts.
The evening will also feature powerful spoken word performances by Oakland Youth Poet Laureate Cael Dueñas-Lara and Vice Poet Laureate Sehinne Yohannes.
