Ben McBride is a visionary leader of radical belonging. The co-founder of the Empower Initiative, a capacity building firm devoted to empowering organizations and communities, he is a leading expert in fostering belonging and public safety reform. Through his dedicated work as an internationally recognized peacemaker, faith leader, activist, and sought-after speaker, Ben uniquely develops strong leaders and builds dynamic cultures of empathy, allyship, and belonging.
Ben was listed as one of the 2020 top faith leaders to watch by the Center for American Progress. Whereas in 2016, Vice President Kamala Harris appointed Ben as the Co-Chair of Racial and Identity Profiling Act Board, a statewide initiative which works alongside law enforcement to curb racial profiling.
While the impact of his passionate strides in bridging and belonging were featured in the Sundance award-winning documentary, THE FORCE, Ben has also authored Troubling the Water (Broadleaf Books, Oct 2023) where he lends his own voice to the movement. Ben lives in Oakland with his wife and business partner, Gynelle and their three amazing daughters.

Ideas become empowered through human interaction. In a city defined by its diverse cultural heritage, DreamWeek is bridging the gap between people and ideas through an international summit on tolerance, equality, and social justice.
Our sponsors make DreamWeek a reality. Since the very first DreamWeek summit in 2012, we have relied on support from our community partners to help us bring dreams to life – dreams of a better way to talk about the tough issues; to give equality and diversity a real seat at the table in a local, national, and global context; and to break down the barriers that divide us and form new connections to bring us closer together.
In order to keep DreamWeek events free or at minimal expense to the public, we rely on the kindness of like-minded businesses and organizations for support.
Your generous support of DreamWeek will fund marketing, advertising, production of the schedule of events, and other costs associated with DreamWeek itself.
As an official DreamWeek Sponsor, you can count on unparalleled brand visibility and invaluable positive impressions from an active an diverse audience. There is no better opportunity to showcase your organization’s mission and establish your name as a community leader in philanthropy and human advocacy.
