Shanah Tovah 5783 – Take Action for the Unsheltered

Thank you for your interest in helping our unhoused neighbors!  

Your visit to this page is timely because of the connection between the High Holy Days and taking action to alleviate injustices and heal our community.  Right now in Oakland the largest homeless encampment is being evicted by Caltrans, without offering safe, sufficient alternatives.

Please consider taking one or more steps to respond to our housing crisis this High Holy Day season
