About Liberate 23rd Ave: Liberate 23rd Ave. was a love-filled campaign led mostly by TGNC POC to turn a longtime queer and trans POC -centered community building into affordable housing and community space forever. Community threw down for us. Thanks to 600+ donors and the People of Color Sustainable Housing Network, Sustainable Economies Law Center, EastSide Arts Alliance, Community Vision (fka Northern California Community Loan Fund), Community Arts Stabilization Trust, Qulture Collective, and especially our beloveds at the Oakland Community Land Trust, in November 2017 we did it! Anchored by Cycles of Change's community bike shop The Bikery, Oakland SOL (Sustaining Ourselves Locally)'s community garden and event space, QTPOC arts group Peacock Rebellion's Liberating Ourselves Locally maker space, and martial arts center Shaolin Life, the Liberated 23rd Ave. Building holds space for thousands of community members every year.
