East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative

Last week, we gathered despite the rain to reflect on EB PREC's work over the last year and discuss the road ahead at our DIY-style, Annual Member Meeting. The evening was filled with delicious food, gifts exchanged, impromptu poetry, musical performances and so much more. Thank you to everyone who showed up (especially the folks who hung out with us all evening over zoom)! EB PREC wishes you all a restful holiday as we look toward 2025. Dismantling the extractive real estate market doesn't happen overnight, but our community's continued commitment to creating #landwithoutlandlords reminds us of our progress and the realm of new possibilities we are co-creating together.

Join us for a conversation on 3/25 about the past and future of Oakland featuring award-winning journalist Alexis Madrigal, author of the new book “The Pacific Circuit: A Globalized Account of the Battle for the Soul of an American City,” Noni Session, co-founder & executive director of East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative, and moderated by Liam O’Donoghue, host of the East Bay Yesterday podcast. RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gGbU8PbU In “The Pacific Circuit,” Alexis Madrigal sculpts an intricate tableau of the city of Oakland that is at once a groundbreaking big-idea book, a deeply researched work of social and political history, and an intimate portrait of an essential American city that has been at the crossroads of the defining themes of the twenty-first century. Through her groundbreaking work with EB PREC, Session is rebuilding local institutions, such as Esther’s Orbit Room, and also removing land and housing from the speculative market to create permanently affordable, community-controlled homes. This event will explore the themes that connect Madrigal’s book and Session’s revitalization projects, the history of West Oakland’s role in the global economy, the personal stories of longtime residents, and much more.
