Soul of the City
A hands-on, hands-together campaign to create an Oakland that is safe, healthy, and balanced.
Take a Stand for Oakland
The murder of Oscar Grant reminds us that Oakland is facing
a crisis of both direct and structural violence. In order to transform
Oakland into a safe and socially just city for EVERYONE, it is
imperative that ALL residents are included in the political process.
Our goal:
Transform Oakland into a socially just, spiritually connected, ecologically sustainable city with shared prosperity for all. Soul of the City brings residents together to address their deepest concerns and build for their highest hopes through learning, service, and leadership.
Our challenge:
Oakland faces the same crises that challenge the entire planet: a global recession, geo-petro politics, and a deepening climate crisis. And like so many urban centers, our city's challenges are compounded by decades of economic stagnation, generations of poverty, and fragmented communities.
Soul of the City challenges Oakland residents to create a community that is invested, safe, healthy, and balanced:
- Political Education for a New Era
Our transformational workshop teaches interconnectedness and introduces participants to the campaign's goals and vision. The Reclaim the Future Workshop uses interactive group sessions, cutting-edge analysis, and multimedia to help participants understand the magnitude of the challenges we face, envision a different way of being together, and connect with a shared purpose to transform our city into a place of health and hope.
- Community Service for Community Solutions
Solving the challenges before us starts in our own neighborhoods. Soul of the City's Serve Our City community service projects are member-led demonstration projects that aim to bring residents together to share resources, build mutual prosperity, and improve the environment. Serve Our City projects emphasize interconnectedness, healing, and hope.
- New Leadership for a New Day
Soul of the City turns community service into community leadership by engaging people in the political process. We are building a political force that can create lasting change, and developing leaders who can effectively move policy and programs that lift up all communities. Soul of the City aims to create an invested voter base that transforms the capacity of all neighborhoods to achieve sustainability and prosperity.
Soul of the City calls upon the people of Oakland to foster justice, prosperity, spiritual connection and environmental health in our city. PLEASE JOIN US.
