April 21, 2021 We're excited to announce the release of our 2020 Annual Report, documenting OBI's key research work, public events, and major activities that took place last year. Despite the enormity of challenges we collectively faced in 2020, we are proud to have contributed to the efforts responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, ongoing police violence against Black communities, worsening housing inequity in the Bay Area, and the pivotal 2020 election. In addition to responding to major events, we also invested greater resources in long term initiatives, such as our new program in Europe.
