This special edition zine captures the many sides of Oakland — from students and medical workers to longtime residents, artists and small business owners. Originally distributed in print throughout the Oakland’s four neighborhoods, we’re sharing it here so more neighbors and curious minds can explore the reporting, photography and reflections inside.

Whether you know Oakland as a place of learning, healing or exploration, we hope this collection helps you see the people and community life behind its well-known institutions.
