Mob The Black at SOAK

MOB @ Sycamore & Oak

Mob the Block at Sycamore & Oak is a visibility-driven shopping activation designed to turn community support into measurable economic impact. On Saturday, January 17, the community will mobilize together to shop, spend, and amplify 14 Black-owned businesses across one plaza in real time.

This is not a pop-up or a vendor market—it is a coordinated mob. Attendees are encouraged to shop intentionally, post consistently, tag loudly, and help convert visibility into lasting momentum for participating businesses. When dollars and attention move together, businesses grow during the event—and long after it ends.

Pull up, circulate your dollars, and be part of a collective action that proves visibility is currency.

Saturday, January 17, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Sycamore & Oak | Washington, DC

RSVP required.
