Free From Debris Community Clean-up and Block Party (Oakland)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The City of Oakland Climate Action Corps fellows are hosting the Free from Debris Community Cleanup and Block Party on July 8th in Arroyo Viejo Park. The goal of the event is to reframe the traditional idea of the 4th of July to recognize the activism and environmental stewardship of marginalized communities. We want to honor Oakland traditions of blending activism and community service with joy and celebration, while affirming that equitable climate action is what our nation needs to move forward on in these coming years, and fast. The event will feature speeches from local figures, a community cleanup in the neighborhood surrounding the park with tools provided, free lunch from Oakland food justice organization Community Kitchens, music, and tabling from local orgs.
