Our Story

En2Action is a multi-sectoral nonprofit rooted in San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point, dedicated to engaging, empowering, and inspiring action that fuels equitable growth, strengthens resilient communities, and drives transformative social impact. Our work centers historically marginalized communities—primarily Black and BIPOC residents—through a holistic, community-driven approach that integrates economic development, food entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability.

Since our founding in 2019, En2Action has supported the growth of over 50 Black-owned businesses, engaged more than 5,000 community members, and distributed over 1,000 food boxes to neighbors facing food insecurity. Our programs are designed not just as one-time events, but as ongoing engagement hubs, incubators, and platforms for policy advocacy and community empowerment.

We Believe…

  • People Matter

    We believe every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our Ujamaa Kitchen program has trained and launched over 40 Black and BIPOC food entrepreneurs, providing them with business incubation, technical assistance, and pop-up opportunities at the Food Pavilion at India Basin. These efforts break down barriers and create new economic pathways.

  • Voices Count

    We ensure that community voices directly inform local policy and planning. Through town halls and listening sessions—like those for the African American Arts & Cultural District—we’ve engaged over 500 residents, artists, and businesses to shape strategic frameworks for cultural preservation and economic vitality.

  • Stronger Together

    Our impact is amplified through deep partnerships with local businesses, cultural institutions, government agencies, and grassroots organizations. From working with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District on environmental justice to partnering with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency on equity-based public safety, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
