Dear Friends of OACC,

This GivingTuesday, we've embarked on a campaign to raise $8,000 towards general operations and programming support to reach our $20K Fund-A-Need goal set during our October 15, 2021, Virtual Gala. Every dollar helps Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) develop more robust programs and enable us to provide free and subsidized rehearsal and meeting space for local performers and community organizations and increase the breadth of performers who will be able to perform at OACC. Together we will celebrate the richness of all the various cultures which make Oakland and the Bay Area such a special place.

From Tuesday, November 30, 2021, to Friday, December 31, 2021, unleash your generosity and donate to OACC.

Thank you for your support!

RePosting/Resharing from @amrpodcast on an episode

RePosting/Resharing from @amrpodcast on an episode out since 11/20/20 with Wampanoag scholars Paula Peters and Linda Coombs, who tell us about their perspective on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is a time for people to come together with their families and give thanks for the blessings in their lives; but the American holiday is rooted in historical fallacy and upholds tired settler colonial belief systems. Instead, let's begin to understand the real story of Thanksgiving and the complex history undergirding this event in relation to Indigenous people. The path to reconciliation starts with honest acknowledgement of our past, with open eyes, and open hearts for a better future. It is time for us to be in good relation with one another. We can do that by learning and unlearning how to give thanks in a good way.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible: @matikawilbur, @project_562, @nativeapprops, @sonkwaban, @teoelisio, @krameroriginals. Artwork by @artbyciara.

Today and everyday is a good day to give thanks.
