CONNECT IN COMMUNITY

Meet neighbors, exchange ideas, build relationships, and support one another.

Eastside For All believes real change and the ability to build for belonging begins with the small, sincere conversations that happen in informal settings when we come together as community members, connecting around our hopes and dreams.

Cross-Cultural community spaces allow us to do just that.

Community spaces are critical. They make real transformations in equity and social justice possible. Cross-cultural spaces bring people together with the intent to connect people from different races, cultures, occupations, social economic standings and viewpoints.

In these spaces, we do more than talk. We work together on events, community art, advocacy issues, and shared visions.

Help Us Create

Places of Belonging

Eastside For All

If you have come to help me you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.

Aboriginal rights activists, Queensland, Australia

This notion of giving voice to the voiceless – that’s, to me, very flawed. They’ve always been talking. No one’s been listening.

America Ferrera

I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.

Angela Davis

Accessibility isn’t the end goal. Belonging is.

Carrie Basas, Fakequity

Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
