Not Our Daughters Benefit Brunch
2019-04-27 11:00 - 13:00 | Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church, 1188 12th Street, Oakland, CA, 94607, United States
Human trafficking continues to be one of the major human right abuses today. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, in 2018 California has the most reported human trafficking cases in the United States. The 3rd Human Trafficking in San Francisco Report noted that most individuals recruited in California had their initial trafficking experience in San Francisco or Alameda County. Human trafficking is not a victimless crime.
The Baptist Ministers Union of Oakland Women’s Ministry recognizes that it takes a village to eradicate this abuse of human dignity and well-being. On Saturday, April 27, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. the BMU Women’s Ministry will host “Not our Daughter” Brunch. We are taking a stand against human trafficking while reclaiming, revitalizing and restoring our sisters. During the brunch there will be a special screening of Surviving International Boulevard. A documentary by filmmaker Sian Gowen which reveals the complex reality of domestic child sex trafficking through the experiences of two local women from Oakland, California. Many other exciting activities are planned for this special event.
Funds from ticket sales will assist several local organizations that are working with survivors of human trafficking. These organizations include ROYLS, INC founded by Virginia Arnold and Jamar Kirton and Serenity House which was founded by the late Johnnia Davis. Both organizations rely on private donations to provide the services available to young women and men.

Dismantling White Supremacy Unconference
2019-06-14 18:30 - 21:00 | Impact Hub Oakland, 2323 Broadway, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States
It’s time to have a family meeting. The Dismantling White Supremacy Unconference will provide a space for people of color and white allies–including activists, policy-makers, business leaders, employees, community organizers, or other residents or community members –to have an explicit and courageous conversation about dismantling systemic white supremacy (and the many discussions that come up around white supremacy) in a community-led forum.
Please note we are not proposing that we discuss the bigotry of individuals (e.g., Neo-Nazis and KKK members) who identify as white supremacists.
Our framing definition is:
White Supremacy is a historically based, institutionally perpetuated system of exploitation and oppression of continents, nations, and peoples of color by white peoples and nations of European continent, for the purpose of maintaining and defending a system of wealth, power, and privilege. (Definition of White Supremacy by the Challenging White Supremacy Workshop in San Francisco, California).
This event is critically important because we believe that naming, disrupting, and dismantling white supremacy is a necessary precondition to creating an inclusive economy that works for everyone.
