Experience the People’s Kitchen Collective Free Breakfast Program—a nourishing, community-led meal inspired by the Black Panther Party’s Survival Programs. Hosted at the annual Life is Living Festival, PKC serves hot, organic breakfast from 11 AM to noon, inviting festival-goers into a shared ritual of care, storytelling, and resilience.

Life is Living is a community-powered cultural celebration amplifying environmental justice, voices of resistance, and Oakland wisdom through art, poetry, music, and collective joy. PKC’s breakfast continues over a decade of honoring Panther legacy by activating food as a tool for solidarity and collective memory. This event fuels the movement—one plate, one conversation, one morning at a time.
