♥️ Care packages ♥️
Our crew is preparing for the coming season by assembling care packages including reusable masks, KN95 Masks, soap, sanitizer, menstrual supplies, bandaids, alcohol wipes, toothbrushes and a little chocolate to sweeten the deal.
We put together almost 1000 packages this week that will be going out to Native families, orgs, our collaborators, and our crew to give away on the street. We know this isn’t a solution to the inequality people are facing, but hope these supplies can help some folks a little during challenging times. Wherever you are, do your part to support folks in your community.
Thank you to everyone that helped us put these together. Stay safe out there.

If you live in the East Bay you are living on stolen Lisjan Ohlone land.
Today, the Ohlone community has no land base. They are not federally recognized and have been politically and economically marginalized. Their traditional territory is now one of the most inflated real estate markets on Turtle Island. Thousands of their ancestors’ bones are locked away in museum basement boxes at local universities.
Living here, you are inadvertently benefitting from the genocide waged against the Ohlone people and the theft of their land. Whether you know it or not, however you feel about it, this is an inescapable fact. The civic infrastructure, the economic system, the private development and the consumption of natural resources in our society are all connected to and in different ways built upon the colonial occupation of this land and the violent displacement of the Ohlone. This history extends throughout the continent and much of the world.
Shifting resources to Indigenous led visions and work, paying your Shuumi land tax, and protecting all the sacred sites and relatives that are still here is a small but critical way to acknowledge this history and contribute to its healing, to support Indigenous people’s work to create a vibrant future.
Shout out to all of our local Indigenous led organizations, projects, and efforts keeping culture and community alive. Tag your local Indigenous led projects to support in comments.

Every Day is Indigenous Peoples Day on Indigenous Land.
We celebrate the strength, resilience, and beauty of our ancestors and relatives today and everyday.
Wherever you are, If you are not on your own ancestral lands, learn more about the history of where you are, reflect on your own role in colonialism and structural inequality, do something to heal historical harms and support your local Indigenous led land work.

Indigenous Land!
Our local soccer team is upping the game and telling like it is! The Oakland Roots created this field with Confederated Villages of Lisjan and Sogorea Te as part of an ongoing collaboration.
This visual acknowledgement goes beyond just recognition of being on Indigenous land and has included education exchange, visits to the land, and support for our urban Indigenous women led land work.
See it at the Home Game October 16! ⚽️
