Inspired by how these Māori folks are shutting down parliament, we lift up our Native and Indigenous peoples in resistance across the globe.

Regardless of how we arrived to the US, we conduct businesses, buy homes, pollute the land, grow community gardens etc. because of the restraint and grace that is extended to us by the Indigenous people of these lands.

We hope that the service we provide in Oakland is respectful and in right relationship with this place. We recognize our proximity to privilege and aim to practice humbly on this sacred land.

Today, if you are not Indigenous, skip the land acknowledgment and pay the land tax to your local Native or Indigenous organization.

Wrapping up Pride Month with this incredible image of strength and resilience.
This baby came through a literal tangle—wrapped in cord, yet undeterred. It's a powerful reminder of what it means to push through barriers, emerge whole, and claim your space in the world.
To our LGBTQ+ community: you know this journey. You've faced the knots, the pressure, the fight to breathe freely—and still, you come through.
This is what Pride looks like. Fierce. Beautiful. Unstoppable. 🏳️‍🌈🩷"
