The BOSS Black August community celebration, block party, and fundraiser launched August 2021 to support BOSS’ Reentry & Neighborhood Safety programs – health, housing, employment and other resources for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities in areas that are disproportionately affected by racially biased policies and systemic inequities - East, West, and Downtown Oakland. The Black August celebration showcases the art, entrepreneurship, activism, voice, and achievements of our community!
