After five years of preparation, we are so pleased to announce that we are breaking “ground” on Esther’s Orbit Room and will begin 12 months of construction this January!

You are cordially invited to our Rock Breaking Ceremony on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 10am to 12:30pm! Meet us at Esther's Orbit Room (1728 7th Street, Oakland CA, 94607) to mix, mingle, and watch us deconstruct and preserve the venue’s original rock facade in celebration of this incredible milestone! Attendees will enjoy food and music, meet fellow supporters, and tour the bare bones of Esther’s Orbit Room before we begin construction.

RSVP for our Rock Breaking here and check out our attached press release for more information!

Thank you for being part of our movement to build a permanently affordable, cooperative economy in the East Bay! We look forward to seeing you in December.
