Our primary audience is the Bayview Hunters Point community, but we serve the entire city. We center Black and Brown artists, youth and families. Programming ranges from live music, theater and cultural festivals to workforce development, artist residencies, film screenings and community forums. It’s intentionally multi-use — art, culture and civic engagement all under one roof.

Jason Anderson has been a staunch activist in the Oakland area for about half a decade and has been working very hard on keeping the historic Liberty Hall building, the original Oakland home to Marcus Garvey’s UNIA in West Oakland, in the hands of the Black community. It has been an uphill battle, but this veteran of Occupy Oakland is up for the challenge.

It is the collective mission of the organizations who now own Liberty Hall and will do their work there – Overcomers With Hope, Bay Area Black Nurses Association and Healthy Communities – to keep the legacy of service and communal collaboration alive in the African American community of West Oakland and Oakland as a whole.
