Oakland Rising Committee

Elect Racial & Economic Justice Champs to City Hall & Beyond!

Together, we can bring a progressive majority to City Hall. Help us elect our slate of boldly progressive, unapologetic Women of Color who will put Oakland’s working-class, immigrant and communities of color at the center of our city’s government!


We need to raise $20,000 in 5 days! Your contribution fuels our voter education and mobilization work around the November 6th General Election. 


  • $750 to send ORA endorsement mailers to 2,000 homes
  • $500 for the 500+ Oakland voters we will speak to daily leading up to elections
  • $250 for the over 2,500 Black and Latinx millennial voters that our youth outreach team will have conversations with
  • $100 for recruiting over 100 volunteers
  • $52 which is $1 a week for the year
  • $25 for each of the 25+ precincts in which we’ll knock on doors
  • $10 because you believe in our work!

The current priorities of the Oakland Mayor and City Council have contributed to a sharp increase in inequity in the face of booming development. We believe that Oakland can and should be a city that champions equity, that puts the issues and agendas of our neighbors who have been most impacted by systemic racism, poverty, neglect, environmental hazards and incarceration at the center of our city’s agenda.


DONATE TODAY to support candidates who bring:

  • strong community roots;
  • accountability to their base and their values; and
  • a deep understanding of systemic oppression and how to make change through addressing root causes.
