Oakland Rising was founded in 2007 to educate and mobilize voters in the flatlands to speak up for and take charge of the issues impacting our lives. We are a multilingual, multiracial collaborative between APEN, EBASE, Causa Justa :: Just Cause and the Ella Baker Center with deep roots in East and West Oakland's neighborhoods.
Oakland Rising is teaming up with Oakland's Young Progressives to usher in a new era of political power that is committed to building an Oakland for everyone.
As you all know, the City of Oakland recently converted the Limited Public
Financing Fund into a $225,000 for instant-runoff voting (IRV) education for Asian, African
American and Latino voters.
