It is always an honor to create videos that weave tapestries of possibility. In November, we collaborated with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, ROC the Bay: Restaurant Opportunities Center Bay Area, La Cocina, Causa Justa Just Cause, Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY), and Community Works West to highlight Restore Oakland, a job training, advocacy and organizing center born from their collaborative effort.
More than a hub, Restore Oakland is a model for community investment. By building interdependent, restorative systems that acknowledge origins of harm and invest in the healing and possibilities of each member of the community, the space will demonstrate what a new local economy and justice system could look like.
