Afternoon Community Adventures

• 67 Suenos Mural tour (1-2PM)

  • Walking tour of Oakland highlighting murals created by youth of 67 Sueños

  • 67 Sueños is an Oakland-based youth organizing program with political education, ARTivism, and trauma-healing work at its center.

    We work primarily with Latinx undocumented youth and youth (ages 14-24) from mixed-status families. Through a leadership  development program with an abolitionist lens, we engage them in local campaigns fighting to end youth incarceration and militarized policing of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities.

    67 Sueños uses art in various forms to educate and engage youth, support healing and freedom of expression, and serve as a tool of resistance. Our ARTivism sheds light on our many struggles, cultivating local and international solidarity and uplifting  empowerment for future generations.
