The Blacktastic Adventure is an ongoing interview series that explores Oregon's Black diaspora. In this episode, I speak with SOBLACC (Southern Oregon Black Leaders, Activists and Community Coalition).
About SOBLACC:
SOBLACC is creating a space that embraces Blackness in all its forms and celebrates the culture of being Black, and is holding space for those that do the same, all while working to address the injustice that Black people are experiencing in Southern Oregon. Furthermore the weaponization of anti-Blackness has been codified in the laws, policy, and practices of this region and this state. To ensure that Black people in Southern Oregon are thriving and sharing our Black genius for solving old and new problems, SOBLACC is committed to building the political power, shared voice, and collective organizing force to change the laws and policies that make it difficult to enjoy living and thriving as Black people through advocacy, lobbying and candidate endorsements.
