Join us for a joyful evening of music, food, and celebration as we honor the relationships, resistance, and community care that keep us grounded in the face of housing injustice.

This year’s theme, Rooted and Resilient, speaks to the strength and solidarity that hold us together. As Audre Lorde reminded us, “Without community, there is no liberation.” In this moment—when the highest levels of government threaten the safety and dignity of our communities—we believe even more deeply in the need to gather, celebrate, and organize. We are all we’ve got, and we are more than enough.

Based in Berkeley and Oakland, BACLT is a social justice organization that converts for-profit rental properties into permanently affordable, democratically run, cooperative housing for lower income households in order to foster economic and racial equity. Our vision is a community where everyone, regardless of background, finds not just housing, but a lasting home defined by affordability, safety, and joy.
