ALL POWER TO THE PUPIL

Designer sunglasses, crafted in Oakland, benefiting community nonprofits including Self-Help Hunger Program run by original Black Panther, “Aunti” Frances.

ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
‍
We strive to make our products accessible to everyone. To that end, we offer up to 60% off to veterans, people on long-term disability, and households that qualify as low-income. To apply, please email assistance@oakanda.org.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
‍
We are prototyping a hybrid conscious capitalism/mutual aid network. The goal is simple: hack capitalism using a beautiful product to get money from those who have it to those who need it.

NONPROFITS

Our initial focus is non-profits offering legal aid, food, and housing support to Oakland residents. Our first partner is Self-Help Hunger Program run by original Black Panther Aunti Frances.

We are actively partnering with nonprofits serving Oakland. To apply to our nonprofit program, please email community@oakanda.org.

LOCAL BUSINESSES

We partner with select local vendors who align with our values. We especially want to support black/minority/woman-owned small businesses. To apply to our vendor program, please email vendor@oakanda.org.
