Mission

The Black Organizing Project is a Black, member-led community organization working for racial, social, and economic justice through grassroots organizing and community building across the Bay Area.

The Black Organizing Project (BOP) mobilizes low-income Black people for change. We resist the school-to-prison pipeline that would funnel BOP's young people into the criminal legal system. We work for racial, social, and economic justice through grassroots community organizing.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The executive director works with the preparer to complete the form then reviews the final version. This version is sent to the treasurer for additional review and then to all other board members.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Officers, directors, board members, and key employees are instructed to disclose at the time that they arise any interest that might be in conflict with their service to BOP. In addition, the Chair and Executive Director annually query these same persons regarding any existing conflicts.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Executive compensation was set by BOP's independent board for the first time in 2015. The board used a published comparison of regional nonprofit compensation as a standard, deliberated without the executive director present, and documented its decision in the formal minutes of the meeting. Future determination of compensation for directors, officers, and key employees will follow this same procedure.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0BOSS (Bettering Our School System): BOSS seeks to end the criminalization of Black and Brown students in the Oakland Unified School District and to end the practices and policies that have led to a school-to-prison pipeline. We have helped develop policies and practices that require transparency and accountability for police and security officers. These include: a process for the public to file complaints against police and security officers; formal restrictions and clarity on the role of police in schools; and data collection and public reporting of school-based arrests, complaints, and incidents. Members are active in the campaign and continue to be the guiding force toward winning change. These are the folks most impacted by the policies that are being developed to create a healthier environment for families in Oakland.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0YOUTH & LEADERSHIP: BOP develops future leaders through a number of means. ADULT community members participate in trainings, dialogues, book clubs, and peer learning. These spaces provide healing and transformation and connect members to themselves and their communities. Members develop analysis, strengthen leadership skills, and build a powerful vision for the future. YOUTH participants benefit through a number of programs. Through Youth Space we have created a welcoming place for Black youth ages 12-19 that empowers them to develop an analysis and create a vision for changing conditions within their schools and communities. We have hosted a summer camp for youth and young adults. The summer youth program of 2015 graduated 40 youth and young adults who were eager to gain new skills to serve their community. Through our Internship Program we bring youth into appropriate roles in all of BOP's work: we have graduated 4 organizing interns in the last 2 years. As of 2015 the program had also graduated 3 organizational leaders and currently has 2 enrolled. Also in 2015 BOP had 26 volunteers who were engaged in outreach, planning meetings, making phone calls to community members, and participating in training spaces. A core program is BABY BOP: This is a summer arts program for children ages 4-11 that nurtures them to help them thrive. Baby BOP invites children to explore their identity and history through experiential learning led by community teachers. Last summer we hosted a summer camp for 10 elementary-school children. This summer Baby BOP has expanded to the end of the year. The program runs once a month with up to 10 children.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0COMMUNICATIONS: Through our Storybuilders program, social media, study trips, video production, and our newsletter, BOP reaches out to a broader constituency. We utilize these different platforms to heal the collective community. Our broad communications strategy allows us to connect the lives and stories of folks in Oakland to those of folks in other parts of the country and the world. Specifically we have tailored weekly posts with infographics through social-media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to draw attention to systemic racial oppression of Black people. The intention of our communications is to draw a connection from an individual injustice to the larger systemic issue. Communication of our work in these arenas has been helpful in educating people around the world of the truth we experience every day.
