关于我们
Imagine an East Oakland where Black children and families not only survive, but flourish. In this vibrant and inclusive community, individuals can reach their full potential and contribute to the greater good. Rise East embodies the belief that prioritizing the well-being and success of Black children and families can create a catalytic ripple effect that uplifts and empowers all members of our city. Rise East is a call to East Oakland - past, present and future - to rise up and build a space and place where Black people can vigorously grow and thrive. Through its programs, initiatives, and partnerships, we will provide resources, support, and opportunities for growth and success in East Oakland, which will serve as a beacon of hope for the entire city of Oakland. Rise East was born out of the vision and efforts of community leaders and longtime and legacy residents living in Deep East Oakland. Our initiatives are direct reflections of the hopes and needs of the people who live here and those who wish to return. Learn More At www.RiseEast.org

Yvette Baldares, a safety ambassador with the Black Cultural Zone, stood in her fluorescent orange vest on a busy Hegenberger Road in East Oakland, pointed across the eight-lane thoroughfare that buzzed with cars, and absolutely loved what she saw across the street. https://lnkd.in/eVduysHk
