About this Event

This happy hour mixer is hosted by Teresa Gonzalez, Renee Geesler, and Holly Delany Cole, board members, and volunteers. This fundraiser event is an opportunity to support the vital work of the Ella Baker Center while exploring the inspiring space that is our home – Restore Oakland.

As the political landscape shifts, our work remains as vital as ever. Together, we can ensure that organizers and communities on the frontlines of change have the resources they need to thrive.

This afternoon will be a vibrant celebration of resilience, vision, and collective action.

What to Expect:

  • Silent Auction: Artwork Donated by Incarcerated Artists from San Quentin
  • A guided tour of Restore Oakland, our political home, a visionary community hub for economic power, racial justice, and restorative justice, located in the heart of Oakland’s Fruitvale district.
  • An intimate conversation with board members and staff about the impact of our work.

Parking:

  • Free but limited venue parking on 34th Ave behind Restore Oakland.
  • Free parking at Fruitvale Bart Station - 5 minute walk to event

Can’t Attend? You can still support the movement!

Every dollar raised will go directly to sustaining the Ella Baker Center’s programs, building power in our communities, and fueling the fight for justice.

Don’t miss this chance to deepen your connection to our mission and see firsthand how Restore Oakland embodies the spirit of Ella Baker’s legacy.
