Event Details

Come out and talk about local issues with Oakland Local staff, local leaders, and your neighbors.  Come out this February to Urban Blend on Broadway near Jack London Square, and meet up with  the Oakland Local reporting team and local leaders for a meet up and discussion.

The February news cafe will focus on how people in Oakland use social media to get the word out about causes and events--with powerful results.

Come talk about why social media is a powerful toll for connecting people around events and issues--and sharing important moments as they happen.

Join Oakland Local and sponsor Full Court Communications in an discussion of best practices and real world cases for using social media tools that have taken place right here in Oakland.  Find out how Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, uStream and blogs have become amplifiers for cultural connections and causes-in Oakland and around the world.

Oakland Local



Oakland Local is a nonpartisan, nonprofit media and capacity-building organization that promotes civic engagement and discourse on local issues that matter. We are both a go-to  media resource for diverse voices in the East Bay of California and a capacity-building tool to help low-income and under-served communities make their voices heard online through the hands-on media training we provide. We are particularly focused on serving Oakland’s low-income communities of color. Our vision is to both bridge the digital divide and support local community economic development through media, at the same time that we build a vibrant news hub for Northern California’s East Bay.
