Equitable Lead Hazard Abatement Program (ELHAP) Community Engagement
2026-02-28 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The City of Oakland is holding community meetings this month to hear from tenants, landlords and community members about a new program to address lead paint hazards in rental housing.
Here’s why this matters: Lead poisoning is extremely harmful to kids and birthing people, yet lead abetment efforts have stalled for years. We need to understand the cities plan and push them to implement it. Also, city staff working on proactive rental inspections will also be at these meetings. That means this is a real opportunity to speak up about habitability issues rental units, such as mold, pests, broken plumbing, whatever your landlord may be ignoring. The city needs to hear directly from tenants about what’s happening in our buildings.
Join us at any of the engagements below:
Sat, Feb 28 | 11am–1pm
Roots Community Health, East Oakland
9925 International Blvd, Oakland 94603
Spanish & Mam interpretation available
Mon, Mar 2 | 5:30–7:30pm
Online Community Meeting via Zoom
Spanish & Mam interpretation available
These community meetings are free, open to the public and include: food, childcare, and language interpretation.
These meetings are especially important for tenants who are low-income, experiencing housing insecurity, or have limited housing options. Your lived experience is exactly what the city needs to hear.

Interfaith Pilgrimage for Palestine: Divest from War, Invest in Life
2026-05-09 08:00 - 16:00
Dear Beloved community,
We invite you to please join us and Interfaith4Palestine (I4P) on May 9, 2026 for this year’s Interfaith Pilgrimage for Palestine! This year our prayerful, public witness calls for an end to military cargo shipments from Oakland to Israel. As the drumbeat of war and war profiteering grows louder, we deepen our commitment to non-cooperation with harm and support the Oakland People’s Arms Embargo to proclaim: Divest from war. Invest in life.
This Mother’s Day we will honor the sacred roots of this day by lifting up the suffering of children in Palestine and everywhere violence prevails. We protest the devastation of war and call for the immediate cessation of policies and actions—abroad and at home—that fuel violence, displacement, and ethnic cleansing.
We are organizing this pilgrimage because the violence funded by U.S. tax dollars in Gaza is not separate from the violence our communities experience here — through systems of incarceration, family separation, displacement, and criminalization that target immigrants, Indigenous people, unsheltered neighbors, trans and BIPOC communities.
