SUMMARY:Friday Nights at OMCA Featuring Extinction Rebellion Bay Area and Sustainability and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED—Friday Nights at OMCASpecial Members Lounge\n\n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at OMCA with Off the Grid | Extinction Rebellion Bay Area and Sustainability and Resilience with the City of Oakland; DJ Ron Reeser \n\n\n\nTake action locally on climate change in Oakland through art\, community\, and organizing at OMCA. \n\n\n\nProgram Schedule: \n\n\n\n5–8 pm Off the Grid Service (10th Street) \n\n\n\n5–9 pm Sustainability and Resilience with the City of Oakland  (Garden) \n\n\n\n6–8  pm Extinction Rebellion (Garden) \n\n\n\n6–8 pm Music by DJ Ron Reeser (Amphitheater) \n\n\n\nOMCA hosts Extinction Rebellion (XR) and the City’s Sustainability and Resilience team to share how we can take action on climate change in Oakland through art\, community\, and organizing. \n\n\n\nExtinction Rebellion invites you to screen print and paint climate justice designs\, interact with their street theater performers and large puppets\, which are often used at protest actions\, and view climate visual art and performances meant to spark reflection\, discussion and action. Learn how to get involved in the climate justice movement as well as local environmental stewardship in the Bay Area with XR and other partner organizations.  \n\n\n\nSustainable Oakland will share how you can help the City of Oakland mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis in ways that improve racial equity across Oakland. The City’s 2030 Equitable Climate Action Plan seeks to transition all buildings in Oakland to 100% electric by 2040\, and residents are invited to shape how this will unfold. Meet the City’s Sustainability and Resilience team and discover how electrification improves home health and safety and what supportive services are available to help residents make the transition to an all-electric home.  \n\n\n\nEnjoy music by DJ Ron Reeser from 6 to 8 pm.  \n\n\n\nAbout the City’s Sustainability and Resilience Team\n\n\n\nThe team fosters collaboration with staff across all City Departments and with community leaders and experts on equitable climate change mitigation and adaptation.  \n\n\n\nAbout Extinction Rebellion (XR)\n\n\n\nExtinction Rebellion\, or XR for short\, is a decentralized\, international and politically non-partisan movement using non-violent direct action and civil disobedience to persuade governments to act justly on the Climate and Ecological Emergency.  \n\n\n\nXR uses Nonviolent Direct Action (NVDA)\, otherwise known as civil disobedience\, to put pressure on the government to act on climate change. We see NVDA as the only remaining tactical option\, as our government has continuously failed at legal and conventional means to make the needed changes to avert mass catastrophe. Nonviolent action attracts attention to our movement\, disrupts business as usual\, and puts authorities in an ethical dilemma.  \n\n\n\nXR is a grassroots organization powered by regular people. We don’t believe that hierarchical structures of organization are a best practice in achieving our goals. Everyone is welcome!  \n\n\n\nXR San Francisco Bay Area works in small semi-autonomous groups\, which generally fall under two categories: affinity groups and working groups. \n\n\n\nAbout Friday Nights:\n\n\n\nReconnect with family\, friends\, and community at OMCA every Friday night.

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at OMCA Featuring Youth vs. Apocalypse
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED—Friday Nights at OMCASpecial Members Lounge\n\n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at OMCA with Off the Grid | Youth vs. Apocalypse – Hip Hop & Climate Justice; DJ Siyah \n\n\n\nEngage in the climate justice movement through hip hop with Youth vs. Apocalypse. \n\n\n\nProgram Schedule: \n\n\n\n5–8 pm  – Off the Grid Service (10th Street) \n\n\n\n5:30–6:30 pm – Siyah (Amphitheater stage) \n\n\n\n6:30–7:30 pm – Youth Vs. Apocalypse (Amphitheater stage) \n\n\n\n7:30–8:30 pm – Siyah (Amphitheater stage) \n\n\n\nBring your poems\, songs\, speeches\, verses\, and more! Youth Vs Apocalypse (YVA) will host an open mic-style Community Showcase at OMCA for all ages to provide space to navigate through injustices we all face in our respective communities. Even if it’s your first time on the mic or you have experience performing\, we want to hear your voice! \n\n\n\nYVA believes we not only need to speak up about these issues\, but we also need to listen to each other’s experiences. By recognizing each other’s struggle\, our strength increases. And with this strength\, we can create a solution that not only benefits one community but all communities.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Youth vs. Apocalypse (YVA)\n\n\n\nYouth Vs. Apocalypse is a diverse group of young climate justice activists working together to lift the voices of youth\, in particular youth of color and working class youth. Their collective action aims to fight for a livable climate and an equitable\, sustainable\, and just world.  \n\n\n\nYVA started as a group of Oakland youth\, supported by adults in their community\, using direct action and lobbying to fight a proposed coal terminal in their city\, then expanded its focus to other climate justice issues. After a video with youth from YVA pushing Senator Feinstein to support the Green New Deal went viral\, YVA students organized press conferences\, gave interviews\, wrote Op Eds\, and developed a website. By September 2019\, YVA organized a crowd of 30\,000\, after working as a group to develop an intersectional set of targets and demands\, organizing transportation for thousands of students from around the Bay Area\, and connecting with dozens of labor and community groups\, many of whom took climate action for the first time. YVA youth have supported climate actions across the state\, taken leadership on local and statewide campaigns\, and continued their presence in national media. YVA was recently named by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts as one of (and the only youth-led) YBCA 100. YVA is now a local group of young people who are impacting national conversations on climate. \n\n\n\nYVA expands and redefines who leads in the climate movement through peer-to peer community organizing that meets frontline young people where they are and supports their powerful\, strategic leadership\, whether they previously considered themselves “leaders” or “environmentalists” or not. Through YVA\, youth leaders also have the support to work collaboratively and in community\, building the broad coalition we need to achieve system-wide change. \n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nThe Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) is committed to providing programs that are accessible\, welcoming\, and inclusive of our community.
