Our Statement of Purpose

PLACE  needs community support to raise funds for necessary structural  upgrades to become code compliant with the City of Oakland. Our goal is  to raise $60,000 to comply with a recently required Conditional Use  Permit for our community education activities, as well as legalizing our  residential use. Your help during this 9-12 month process will keep our  doors open and support our mission. We recently became our own 501(c)3  charitable organization, which makes your donations tax-deductible. 

​

We  acknowledge that we reside in Huichin (Oakland), the unceded ancestral  homelands of the Ohlone and the Chochenyo Native people. We stand in  solidarity with local Indigenous communities who are currently living on  these lands today. We are grateful to be guests and stewards of this  10,000 sq ft location in North Oakland, which has been in operation for  14 years.
