You’re Invited: Black August – Mind, Body & Soul Block Party in collaboration with East Oakland Boxing Association.

Join us on Friday, August 8, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the East Oakland Boxing Association for a celebration of healing, growth, and collective power.

Free to attend, bring a friend, a neighbor, or your whole crew!

About Black August:

Born out of the resistance of incarcerated Black revolutionaries in the 1970s, Black August is a time of reflection, education, and action. But this gathering is more than just a tribute to the past, it’s a celebration of our collective resilience, healing, and power in the present.

We’ll be coming together for an evening filled with:

• Delicious food & refreshing drinks
• Wellness workshops
• Live cooking demos
• Civic engagement resources
• And much more!

This event centers the Black experience while uplifting all communities of color and everyone committed to justice, unity, and liberation.

We’d love to celebrate with you and continue the work of building a safer Oakland together.

We look forward to seeing you on August 8th!
