Donate to ANV and help everyone we touch not JUST survive, but THRIVE!

Your sustaining friendship helps ensure that Acta Non Verba continues its mission of elevating life in the inner city through urban farming.

ANV’s quarter-acre farm located in the City of Oakland’s Tassafaronga Park is planned, planted, harvested and sold by youth in grades K-8. Not only does this allow young folks to learn how to grow and process healthy foods, but it also teaches them about finances, savings, and entrepreneurial skills. 100% of the proceeds from the youth-run farm stands go into individual savings accounts for participants. We also prioritize building up our youth by putting 100% of the profits from our CSA Beet Boxes also go directly into our youth participant's savings accounts. We rely on our community's help to fund all our wonderful youth programs!

“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.

Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
