Oakland Rejects Slavery (ORS) Commemorates & Celebrates Black August
Join LSPC, All of Us or None, and many other local organizations at Lil' Bobby Hutton Park in West Oakland for a Community BBQ in support of our Oakland Rejects Slavery / Abolish Bondage Collectively campaign!
This is an event aimed to remind our community that we are still one family! It's an opportunity to remember that our diverse community fights to free ourselves of the vestiges of slavery. Some of the most reprehensible acts in modern history were conducted during the month of August. We want to commemorate those who have lost their lives in the process of fighting for the full restoration of human and civil rights of all oppressed people. We commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of George Jackson and the Attica Uprising that followed. We will address current events impacting our community such as stripping away the vestiges of slavery in our state and federal constitutions, the vaccine hesitancy in our communities, and for Oakland to reject the narrative and practice of the violence we have perpetrated against ourselves.
