DESCRIPTION:Community safety starts with us.\n\nOACC invites you to join 
 a mini-concert and conversation with artists, activists, and community 
 organizers to re-imagine what safety can look like for our communities. 
 We’ll open with an exclusive performance featuring jason chu and Alan 
 Z, lead artists of the Face Value album. Full guest speaker lineup 
 TBA.\n\nThe recent attacks on Asian Americans are not new – they’re 
 rooted in a long history of white supremacy and xenophobia that pits Asian 
 Americans against other people of color, and scapegoats us in times of 
 crisis. For generations, Asian immigrants and refugees built cultural 
 communities alongside other working class communities of color in Oakland. 
 Neighborhoods like Chinatown and Eastlake became landing places for new 
 immigrants, havens for families to raise kids and grow old. But over the 
 past few decades, our communities have been destabilized by the growing gap 
 between rich and poor, skyrocketing housing costs, and deep budget cuts to 
 our schools and public services.\n\nThis month, the Oakland City Council is 
 set to vote on whether to throw even more money into policing that 
 further destabilizes our communities or whether to pass a People’s 
 Budget that puts our tax dollars where we need it most – into housing, 
 critical public services, mental health, arts, and youth services. 
 Community safety starts with us: building trust and connection, repairing 
 past harms, and having each other’s backs.\n\nNarrative Credit: Asian 
 Pacific Environmental Network (APEN)\n\nThis event is supported in part 
 by APEN, OCA-Asian American Advocates’ East Bay Chapter, and AYPAL. It 
 is FREE with suggested donations greatly appreciated to support our 
 programs and partners. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.\n
