"On July 30th, Wolfman Books closed its doors at 410 13th Street for the last time. Days before, several former staff members, collectively known as Wolfemme+Them, gathered together to say goodbye to the space. But as we burned candles and recounted memories of the community we fostered during the store's lifespan, we found ourselves asking: what if 410 13th Street didn't have to stay closed? What if downtown Oakland had a truly BIPOC-led community center?

We shared our dreams of a space full of books by Black, Indigenous, brown, queer, trans, revolutionary, local, and youth writers; a space for literary events where young and emerging writers can share the stage with their mentors, a space for poets and musicians to co-conspire with community organizers; a space for a zine library, a gallery and artist studios; a space for education and activism, plus herbal medicine, free groceries, and resource distribution; a space that prioritizes uplifting and supporting Black folks born and raised in Oakland and the Ohlone people whose stolen land we live on; a space that can shift and grow, ever-expanding to center BIPOC and QTPOC needs, wants, visions, and dreams.

With this goal in mind, the collective formerly known as Wolfemme+Them has officially secured the lease to 410 13th Street. We are launching as a brand new cooperatively run community center for creative collaboration and organizing.

We believe it is absolutely vital as BIPOC and QTPOC that we have a physical space for connecting, building, dreaming, and learning. But in a world still ravaged by racial capitalism-and particularly as BIPOC and QTPOC artists / arts administrators / service workers / organizers who are currently unemployed or underemployed due to COVID-19-we must rely on our communities for financial support to fund the startup costs of opening this space."
