Project details
What we need
- A photographer who will attend the Organization's event to take photos
- A set of professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered in a digital format suitable for web or print use
- Note: The photographer needs to be available in the same geographical location as the Organization or be willing to travel at own expense
What we have in place
- Pick a date!
- Saturday, October 13: 9:45AM - 2PM
- Saturday, October 20: 9:45AM - 2PM
We have a couple of dates in October when we'll have dozens of our volunteers talking to voters about important issues on the ballot. You can choose which date you'd like to document. These photos will help promote our voter engagement work and recruit more voter outreach volunteers in the future.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,998 , allowing us to reach more voters so that we can create an Oakland lifts up inclusion, equity, fairness and compassion for all.
Help us document our civic engagement work! We run multilingual civic engagement programs to educate and mobilize voters around critical local and state issues affecting us. We have built a bloc of over 58,000 Oakland voters in low-income, immigrant and communities of color who identify as supportive of our progressive policy agenda. We play a central role in connecting progressive activists, community members, leaders, labor, and faith-based institutions to Oakland's progressive political electoral and movement building work. Together, we turn out hundreds of volunteers to support our civic engagement efforts.

Our mission
Oakland Rising educates and mobilizes voters in the flatlands to speak up for and take charge of the issues impacting our lives. We are a multilingual, multiracial collaborative with deep roots in East and West Oakland's neighborhoods, proving that everyday residents working together have the power to change the way our city is run.
Our work focuses on three major goals through which we are developing critical and key pieces of infrastructure necessary to build progressive power in Oakland:
Build a permanent political/electoral infrastructure;
Exercise and expand political influence; and
Align organizations and coordinate with other progressive forces.
What we do
We develop key infrastructure necessary to build progressive power by:
Flexing People Power: We build and exercise progressive political power through mass-based electoral organizing and integrated strategies, including base-building and policy advocacy.
Aligning Like-Minded Forces: We align and coordinate citywide and regional progressive forces through our collaborative model to build the power and profile of the social justice movement.
Leading With Values: We recruit, train, advance and support progressive leaders who lead in a collaborative, accountable and values-based way that social justice.
