SAVE Center for Commuity Change and Empowerment
“" Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him."”
Martin Luther King Jr
Stand Ins and Events
Gun violence is rampant and families are suffering. All of us who live, work, worship or create in Oakland are impacted by the violence that has reached an epidemic level. To honor those who have been killed we gather at a corner in Oakland to lift them up and call for the end of gun violence.
The next Stand In is November 28th 11am: West Grand and Market Street.
Join us after for lunch at the Institute.
Guns to Gardens
Save is supporting the Guns to Gardens buy back program. The next buy back will be November 14, 2026 10am - 2pm St. Benedict's Catholic Church, 2245 82nd Ave, Oakland
