Land Work Days
In the spirit of mutual aid and the commons, POCSHN hosts bi-monthly Land Work Days at various BIPOC-led food and housing projects across the Bay Area. To create solidarity between the struggle for food sovereignty and equitable land access, we bring a spirited group of POCSHN members from across the East Bay (and beyond!) to put our labor where our mouth is and support projects that are making progress to land liberation!
Want to host a work day? Send us an email with your name, location of the proposed work day, and date options of when you would like some volunteers (we need at least a month lead time).

Co-Housing Tours
We are a network of individuals, land projects, and organizations who hope to promote and advocate for resources for POC-led housing and land projects. With our co-housing tours, we welcome individuals who are interested in starting land projects, or want to see how others do it, to get up close and personal with co-ops and co-living projects in Northern California. This helps ignite and sustain the movement to regenerative land projects by supporting them and raising awareness about the land visionaries in our community.
