Oakland Ecovillage Group Meets Near Lake Merritt

By


I found this link to an interesting group called Oakland Ecovillage and their calendar, which features Sunday walks around the Lake with a group of anti-war neighbors.

I'm sure the group realizes that it needs to be more diverse than is shown in this photo, so I will not spend too much time on this except to say if you're a person of color check it out, and to the group's organizers, make a concerted effort to bring African Americans, Latinos, and others in.

It's disheartening to see this kind of photo in a city that was once prized for its diversity.

Not to mention eating just popcorn! How about potato salad? A potluck with baked chicken? Something!

I'd love to get more people involved in their communities regardless of color. I am on the board of my own local neighborhood association and it's frustrating trying to get people to REALLY get involved, and not just want to put the Director title on their resume. A recent woman of color was only on the board because of our lack of color, but she didn't participate. I've begged, pleaded, and practically bribed people to get involved to no avail. Any hard core suggestions?
