Oakland Pride

Description

• Oakland Pride celebrates the cultures and diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community in Oakland and the East Bay. We are dedicated to educating the greater community, promoting equality, civic involvement and responsibility within Oakland and neighboring communities. Oakland Pride is committed to facilitating leadership and coalition building for the funding and development of the first LGBTQ community center in Oakland for everyone. East Bay Pride was celebrated in Oakland from 1997 to 2004. Led by the efforts of former Oakland City Councilmember Danny Wan and the Oakland LGBT Roundtable. Oakland Out In Oakland commenced with a celebration of LGBTQ life in 2005 and 2006. Pride had not taken place in Oakland since that time. In 2008, Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan and others led efforts to re-organize an LGBT Roundtable in the City of Oakland. Since then, members of the Roundtable and the LGBT community representing all walks of life decided that it was time to resuscitate Oakland Pride for the long term and advocate for LGBT rights and interests, including the development of the first LGBTQ community center in Oakland for everyone. Since the renewal of this effort, Oakland Pride has been busy networking with allies and partners with a goal of creating a vibrant and viable organization worthy of the LGBTQ community in the East Bay. As we continue to raise funds for the festival, the longer-term goal is to support our larger goal for the creation of an LGBTQ Community Center in Oakland for everyone. The funding will serve to not only help in the organizing of an event, but also eventually provide funding for the support of services at a future Community Center. Oakland Pride wants to be of assistance in providing a sustainable solution to implement or support needed services for challenges in our communityespecially in low-income, multi-cultural elder and young LGBTQ communities.
