THE BLACK PAPER

The Black Paper culminated into a multimedia event that birthed 5 key campaigns.

Our community wanted action on housing, access to quality schools and with COVID - access to reliable and affordable internet. Thus far, three of those have passed without a dissenting vote, but we still need your help to pass the remaining two.

In 2025, SoBEO released a new Black Paper, sourcing from Oaklanders the solutions to address the urgency facing public education in Oakland now. Access the 2025 Black Paper here.
