Oakland Family Reunion

Oakland Family Reunion is a FREE friendly family event where families are able to come together and reunite and spend it playing games, dancing, and painting. The purpose of this event was to create a healing space and to remind Oakland the importance of family. An event that also uplifted and supported local vendors by allowing them to sell their work to the community.

I would like to thank Urban Peace Movement for allowing us to take part in this event and allowing us to bring a dunk tank where the community would be able to enjoy themselves. A huge thank you to Diego, Don Mauricio, Sikander, and everyone else who volunteered to get dunked on the dunk tank.
