Now that Lifelines to Healing has started back up in Oakland, OCO is joining forces with other faith leaders to stop the gun violence in our community. Why are we on the streets for Oakland Ceasefire? We care! We want young men to stop being so violent toward one another! And we want to find out what are their needs! Join us every Friday for the night walks if you want the gun violence to end in Oakland neighborhoods.
OCO leaders joined the national PICO network and its allies to create the power to push for a comprehensive immigration bill in 2013. We are working on the local, state and national level in a joint effort to push for national legislation for citizenship. Join us and let's make this happen!
OCO leaders have dedicated themselves for over a decade to ensuring excellent and equitable education for every student in Oakland, particularly low-income students of color in the flatland schools. Building off our successes and learnings from the small schools movement, parent and student leaders are prepared to focus on lowering the drop-out rate and improving academic outcomes in our high schools through Linked Learning, which prioritizes academic rigor, work-based learning and robust student services. West Oakland leaders are ready to take STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) to the next level in neighborhood schools.
See how PICO changes lives, strengthens families and revitalizes communities across the country.
