Oakland Pride wants to be of assistance in providing a sustainable solution to implement or support needed services for challenges in our community-especially in low-income, multi-cultural elder and young LGBT communities. The funding will serve to not only help in the organizing of an event, but also eventually provide funding for the support of services at a future Community Center. We are presently applying for sponsorship support from foundations and corporations. Oakland Pride is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. As we continue to raise funds for the festival, the longer-term goal is to support our larger goal for the creation of an LGBT Community Center in Oakland for everyone. Oakland Pride is set to celebrate our annual Pride festival on the first Sunday of September, Labor Day Weekend.
Our goal is to create a vibrant and viable organization worthy of the LGBT community in the East Bay. Since the renewal of this effort, Oakland Pride has been busy networking with allies and partners. Since then, members of the Roundtable and the LGBT community representing all walks of life decided that it was time to resuscitate Oakland Pride for the long term and advocate for LGBT rights and interests, including the development of the first LGBTQ community center in Oakland for everyone. In 2008, Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan and others led efforts to re-organize an LGBT Roundtable in the City of Oakland. Pride had not taken place in Oakland since that time. “Oakland Out In Oakland” commenced with a celebration of LGBT life in 20. Led by the efforts of former Oakland City Councilmember Danny Wan and the Oakland Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Roundtable. History & GoalsĮast Bay Pride was celebrated in Oakland from 1997 to 2004. Oakland Pride is committed to facilitating leadership and coalition building for the funding and development of the first LGBTQ community center in Oakland for everyone. We are dedicated to educating the greater community, promoting equality, civic involvement and responsibility within Oakland and neighboring communities.
It is the mission of Oakland Pride to celebrate the cultures and diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community in Oakland and the East Bay.
