California is facing a $20 billion budget shortfall.  Our tax and budgeting system is over 30 years old and hasn’t kept up with changing economic and political conditions. We’ll be asking Oaklanders about solutions to this budget crisis. Issues like split-roll taxes and the 2/3 budget majority will be voted on within the next few years.

Help make sure that Oakland residents are informed and engaged in critical issues facing our city and state!

Oakland Rising is a social justice collaborative that is building a citywide electoral base to advance an agenda that addresses the issues and needs of our flatland communities.
