Homies Empowerment is a people-of-color-led grassroots organization rooted in East Oakland.
We advance healing, equity, and self-determination in historically marginalized communities through food access programs, youth leadership, and culturally rooted programming. Our work toward collective resilience and freedom is grounded in:
We believe that solidarity is the foundation of liberation—our freedom is bound with the freedom of our neighbors. When we care for one another, we create the conditions for all of us to thrive. What began as a youth-centered effort to prevent violence and build belonging has grown into a space where individuals and families can access free resources, nourishment, learning, and connection. Through the Freedom Store, Freedom Farm, and the Freedom School, we are building local systems of care that reflect our shared values. Together, we are reimagining what becomes possible when a community takes care of itself. |
