About POWER: In 2011, a group of women came together to re-enact the 1908 Oakland Suffrage Parade and the anniversary of suffrage with a event drawing people from all over Oakland, on the shores of Lake Merritt. Elected officials, women's organizations, men, women and children came together to honor those women who gave of themselves completely, to gain women the right to vote. The celebration was a resounding success with over 250 people attending!
Working on this event there came a wonderful connection; a pride, loyalty; a desire to continue working together; a "esprit de corp." We decided to keep working together through an all volunteer organization, POWER (Progressive Oakland Women Empowering Reform) Our desire is to acknowledge change agents in our community, to acknowledge the contributions made by individuals and institutions that support the Oakland community.
