Night Out for Safety and Liberation Turn up with us for Night Out for Safety and Liberation to redefine what safety means and to start a different conversation about public safety beyond policing, focusing on how we can build equity, power, and opportunity in our communities. Gather for an evening of food, music, poetry, face painting, games, health and wellness services, educational resources and more. Let's continue to build a narrative that defines safety not in terms of fear, crime, and punishment, but rather as a community that has access to affordable healthcare, housing, food, education, safe and working infrastructure, and more. Get details at www.NOSL.us. Location: San Antonio Park, 1701 E 19th St. Oakland, CA |
