About Event

There's a wall in Oakland that's been holding it down for two years. Thursday night, the collective holds it up.

It stands on 26th Street, painted across a working auto body shop parking lot: Indigenous, Black, and Palestinian liberation as interdependent. Sumud is Arabic for steadfastness: staying rooted to your land and your people when everything around you is built to remove you from both.

We begin in circles on the concrete, small groups devising and building performances from their own stories underscored by live music from local artists. Circles of grief, belonging, power, and pain bring us together, because solidarity is a thing we make with our bodies in spaces where nothing is meant to grow.

Live music, art shares, street food, vendors. Bring your people, stay for the celebration and the dancing. Learn more about SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation here.
