Following are links to two in-depth articles that deal with the most fundamental questions, problems and solutions, and strategy and tactics of the 2011 American Protests (Occupy Protests). These need to be reviewed and considered for the creation of goals, agenda, strategy, and tactics. 1. http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/occupy-wall-street-potentials-and-limitations-of-the-2011-american-protests-by-fazal-rahman-ph-d/ 2. http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/occupy-wall-street-problems-of-the-dialectics-of-diversity-uniformity-and-unity-by-fazal-rahman-ph-d/ 3346

VIOLENCE + VANDALISM CANNOT BE CONDONED!

November 2, 2011 at 10:03 pm.

Posted by occnoaklnd

The anarchists + other individuals that smashed bank windows + tagged Whole Foods delegitimize the entire Occupy Oakland movement + need to be held accountable for their actions. I suspect that much of the media will not differentiate between the protesters. No doubt conservatives will do so. There needs to be a serious concerted effort to purge these criminals from the movement because they will chip away at our credibility. Suggestions on how to do this? 3341

Posted by kmillswim

After participating today in the Nov. 2nd General Strike and Occupation of the Plaza in Oakland, I came home and did some research. On September 17th, the start day of the Occupy Wall Street movement, word of Obama’s Tax Plan to tax the rich, hit the news. This plan was to raise taxes on those who make $1 million or more. I searched again and found that the original plan was to raise taxes on those who make $250,000 or more, but Senate Democrats “ditched” that as the definition of … Continued

About OccupyOakland.org

This website was created in the fall of 2011. Most of it is now moribund, but the Occupy Oakland Calendar, which lists activist events in the East Bay (and occasionally elsewhere) is still maintained, the Search facility works to find earlier posts and keep OO’s history alive, and articles are occasionally still posted to the front page.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly met in-person weekly (with a rare skip) since October 10th, 2011 up until the pandemic, at which point we went to bi-weekly Zoom meetings. We do checkins, go over the activist events of the past meeting interval, and have general discussions on politics and revolution.

For many years, until the pandemic, we put on a Feed the People event monthly at Oscar Grant Plaza, where all were welcome to come and partake of a freshly cooked, savory meal, before our GA.

If you would like to participate while the pandemic is still amidst, send an email to occupyoakland-request@lists.riseup.net. Check the calendar or this text to see if we have resumed in-person meetings.
