October 15, 1966, is when it all began. The Black Panther Party formed and became a formidable organization that took pride in fighting for social justice and equitable access to food and medicine in the Black community. But, they didn't stop there.
Restoring Our Communities (ROC) is hosting its biannual Clean Slate Clinic to help current and former Peralta students explore options for reducing or dismissing eligible misdemeanors & felonies from Alameda County.
Money skills = life skills! College of Alameda's CARE & CALWORKs presents a Financial Literacy workshop just for YOU!
