The 2024 State of Black California Tour stop in Oakland has been rescheduled from Sept. 28 to Dec. 13, at the Oakland Museum of California. Registration for the event is closed after reaching maximum capacity, according to CBBF’s website.

Registration for the Oct. 5 tour stop in Moreno Valley is closed as well. Al Sharpton will be a guest speaker at that event.

The series, co-hosted by the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), has made stops in San Diego, Santa Barbara, Fresno, and Sacramento.

The State of Black California series creates space for Black Californians to engage the public and policymakers on the issues that impact the Black community. It will also provide conversations about the status of reparations legislation.

The CBFF is a five-year, $100 million measure to ensure that Black power-building and movement-based organizations have the sustainable investments and effective resources needed to remove systemic and institutional racism. CBFF was the benefactor of $3.5 million in state funds last year, distributed to various Black networks in the state.

There’s still time to sign up for the Greater Richmond Interfaith Program’s (GRIP’s) 38^thGRIP Harmony Walk to End Hunger and Homelessness, set for Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Richmond’s Nicholl Park.

All it takes to register is $38 per person — which includes swag and access to event activities — with proceeds helping to support GRIP’s work toward ending hunger and homelessness in West Contra Costa County.

“This year, we’ll be keeping the walk short and are hoping to focus the energy of the event at the park, where we’ll have games, kids’ activities, and more. Our hope is to have even more booths and food trucks than last year,” said Harmony Walk Chair and GRIP Board Member Jilly de la Torre. Celebrity guests, elected leaders, raffle prizes, live music and more are also planned for the park.

The Harmony Walk is GRIP’s largest public event, raising nearly $50,000 to support its mission. Last year’s event saw donors such as Chevron, Sims Metal, Mechanics Bank, Kaiser Permanente, EBMUD and so many more supporters step up to help.

Looking to donate money, prizes or to have a booth to support GRIP’s community fair? Contact info@gripcommunity.org or call (510) 233-2141 or reach out to de la Torre.
