About Us

Oakland Forward is made up of grassroots, community centered activists, organizers, and changemakers who are passionate about making real change and improvement for Black and Brown communities that exist all over the county, and beyond!

The impact of Oakland Forward is felt throughout the county, as we work to Engage, Equip and Empower residents from all walks of life. Our programs and services have helped countless individuals and families access the resources and support they need to thrive, and our advocacy efforts have helped shape public policy in ways that benefit marginalized communities. By building a strong and supportive network of activists and advocates, we are working towards a future where all residents of Oakland County can live free from discrimination, oppression, and inequality.

The work of Oakland Forward is more important now than ever before, as we confront the ongoing challenges of systemic racism, economic inequality, and social injustice. Our team is committed to building a more just and equitable society, and we know that real change is possible when people come together and work towards a common goal. With your support, we can continue to make a meaningful impact in our community and beyond, as we strive towards a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
