Human Billboard: Black Lives Matter | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

They invite you, rain or shine, to call attention to racial injustice and demonstrate solidarity. Throughout the East Bay and nationally, folks have been gathering on prominent street corners and freeway overpasses, holding signs and making visible our support for the Movement for Black Lives and communities targeted by Trump.

These gatherings – or “human billboards” – have been a simple yet effective way of channeling anger and sadness over injustice into collective action and solidarity. For all of us, it’s a concrete way to put our heart and soul into action. It’s being in community with each other, to share with like-minded people a belief that a loving, humane, compassionate world is possible, and to take a small step towards making that happen.

Free but an RSVP is recommended.
