As 2025 comes to a close, a year marked by uncertainty matched with resilience, Urban Peace Movement has continued to fight for an Oakland and Alameda County that support our young people and communities to be healthy, thriving, and safe. With our youth organizing programs busier and more energetic than ever before, we are continually inspired and heartened by the power our young people demonstrate to face the challenges of 2026 and beyond.

We hope you enjoy reading UPM’s 2025 Year in Review, and that you, like us, feel inspired and motivated by the power of youth organizing to stay in the fight with us.
