The Oakland Join-Up
A two-day civic weekend helping Oaklanders move from curiosity to participation. Watch a film. Meet local clubs. Find your people.
What is The Oakland Join-Up?
The Oakland Join-Up is a two-day civic pop-up at Two Pitchers Brewing, anchored by a Saturday night screening of Join or Die and followed by a Sunday Activity & Resource Fair.
It’s designed to help people turn civic interest into real-world connection—by meeting local clubs, groups, and projects they can actually join.
Saturday Night: Join or Die Screening & Discussion
📍 The Garage @ Two Pitchers Brewing
🕖 6pm doors, 7pm show
💵 $10 suggested donation
A communal screening of Join or Die, followed by a short, guided reflection to help you think about what kinds of connection you’re missing—and what you might want to try next.
Sunday Afternoon: The Oakland Join-Up Activity Fair
📍 The Garage @ Two Pitchers Brewing
🕐 1–4 PM
🎟 Free & drop-in
Meet 20+ local clubs, community groups, and projects offering low-barrier ways to get involved. Come for 10 minutes or stay all afternoon—no pitches, no pressure.
This is for you if…
You’ve been meaning to get more involved but don’t know where to start
You’re looking for community, not a commitment
You like the idea of clubs, projects, or shared activities
You want something social and meaningful
Have a club or community group?
The Oakland Join-Up brings together local clubs and community groups with people actively looking to get involved. Tabling is free, informal, and focused on conversation—not pitches.
Why The Join-Up?
Too many civic events end with inspiration but no next step
Oakland has incredible clubs and groups that are hard to find
Neighborhood spaces like bars can be real social infrastructure
