We Rise Production invites you to our first-ever series of free, family friendly, and open to the public, seasonal block parties & community dialogues. Each block party focuses on one theme, and offers:
• A speakers panel & community dialogue
• Tabling from local businesses and organizations
• A community art project
• Local food
• A raffle, including offerings or services from local QTBIPOC (queer trans Black, Indigenous, & people of color) small businesses & wellness workers
Our themes will deepen into an exploration of how WE TAKE CARE OF US – a phrase that comes out of BIPOC-led community spaces dedicated to the practice of mutual aid & abolition as a strategy for long-term collective wellbeing. We use this phrase intentionally to lift up & carry forward this invitation in our own communities as we crosspollinate.

These in-person events aspire to strengthen and deepen existing connections and initiate new ones after the changing culture and community landscape Oakland experienced in years of social distancing and pandemic.
We Rise is committed to offering free education and raising awareness on important community work and causes through events and cultural production. Therefore, each speakers panel will be recorded and distributed on the We Rise podcast & media platforms. This series of seasonal intercommunity block parties aims to cultivate cross-pollination of intergenerational and intersectional identities coming together to learn about & support social justice, community safety, local businesses, & celebrate our artistic abundance.
