Uhuru Furniture warehouse sales build Regional Hub & liberated African economy!

Uhuru Furniture & Collectibles in Oakland, CA has held several very successful warehouse sales in 2021 at Akwaaba Hall at the Uhuru House at 7911 MacArthur Blvd.

The sales have made hundreds more pieces of furniture available to the public for sale. It has also brought Uhuru Furniture to the historically African community of East Oakland and has brought the Uhuru Furniture base of shoppers to the Uhuru House.

Building the Regional Hub

The warehouse sales have been a great opportunity to begin building the Uhuru House as the West Regional Hub, tying together all the work of the Uhuru Movement so anyone who steps into Akwaaba Hall can see all the work of the West Region represented.

So far, Uhuru Foods and Pies, Uhuru Solidarity Movement and Buy Black Power products are all represented. Through the Buy Black Power products, the African National Women’s Organization and the International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement, as well as Burning Spear Publications, are all represented.

Shoppers may attend because they are looking for furniture, but they leave learning more about the whole Uhuru Movement and with an Uhuru Pie in hand!

We are doing door-to-door drops in the neighborhood around the Uhuru House, letting people know about the warehouse sale and giving them coupons to use. We are also using the space at Akwaaba Hall to host the NZO painting workshops and volunteer sessions to price donated artwork and collectibles.

We hope to win further participation from organizers throughout the West Region to make these sales into real events with music and reflecting all aspects of the Uhuru Movement’s strategy to build the liberated, anticolonial African economy.

Uhuru Furniture in Oakland needs a warehouse

APEDF made Akwaaba Hall accessible to Uhuru Furniture when COVID hit and the hall could not be rented out to the community or used to host public events.

Soon, though, the beautiful Akwaaba Hall will once again be open for rentals and events. We need to be ready to move into our own warehouse space. And YOU can help. Know someone with a warehouse space? Want to help in the search? Contact us today!
