# Event Details - **Event Name**: When We Stand Together: Black History and the Power of Solidarity - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm - **Event Description**: A Black History Month celebration with food, culture, youth voices, and an honest conversation about solidarity in this moment and the past.About this EventVallejo Building Black Power’s Second Annual Black History Month Celebration is a community gathering rooted in history, truth, and connection.Black history has never moved forward in isolation. From the Black Panther Party to the Chicano Movement, from labor struggles to immigrant rights organizing, progress has come when people recognized that their struggles were connected and chose to stand together.We’re living in another one of those moments.Across the country, we’re seeing an expansion of enforcement, surveillance, and state violence, including the actions of ICE, that relies on fear, division, and isolation. While California may feel removed at times, what’s happening elsewhere shapes what becomes possible everywhere. Vallejo, one of the most diverse cities in the country, also knows what it feels like to be divided. This gathering creates space to name that reality honestly and ask what it would take to strengthen solidarity here and beyond.This event will explore:What solidarity has looked like across Black, Brown, immigrant, and working-class movementsHow people have organized across difference to challenge repression and harmWhat solidarity looks like in this moment, nationally and locallyHow we move forward together with intention and careAt the same time, this is a celebration.Attendees can expect good food, music, cultural performances, youth voices, and opportunities to connect with local organizations whose work reflects solidarity in action. The program includes a keynote conversation, a facilitated panel, and moments of reflection throughout.This is not a lecture or a protest. It’s a community gathering meant to leave people feeling informed, grounded, and energized.All are welcome. Come to learn, connect, and be in community. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/b8f27820-0983-11f1-a70f-b15bde9c1f1d-rimg-w572-h740-dcd68f64-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 02:30 PMDoors Open?: 02:30 PM - 03:00 PMArrival, Food, and Community SpaceInfo: Enjoy food, music, and visual displays highlighting Black history, culture, and solidarity across movements.?: 03:00 PMProgram Starts?: 03:00 PM - 03:10 PMOpening Grounding: Land + Labor AcknowledgmentInfo: Indigenous Land Acknowledgment and Labor Acknowledgment honoring enslaved, migrant, and working-class labor?: 03:10 PM - 03:20 PMYouth-Led Black Cultural Opening?: 03:20 PM - 03:30 PMWelcome and Framing?: 03:30 PM - 03:55 PMKeynote AddressHost: Cat BrooksInfo: Cat Brooks is a theater artist, writer and community organizer.
