Street Spirit Happy Hour

Our work at Street Spirit teaches us the value of in-person connection. Street Spirit vendors get to meet you in the streets of Berkeley and Oakland, but our team wants to hang with you, too! Come have a drink with us at Oakland Yard to talk about local media and homelessness. Or, just comer to meet each other: The amazing community of writers, artitsts, readers, and supporters who hold us up. Have some wine! Soothe your existential dread by making a friend! See you there <3

ABOUT STREET SPIRIT

Street Spirit is an independent, monthly newspaper that has been dedicated to covering poverty and homelessness since 1995. We are also a vital source of income for the homeless people who sell our paper on the streets of Berkeley, Oakland, and beyond. More than just a newspaper, Street Spirit provides a platform for art making in historically marginalized communities, and breaks down harmful stigmas that make it impossible to build effective solutions to homelessness.
