Vigil Needs Support Tonight

Posted by

We (OO) Need You at Oscar Grant Plaza (14th and Broadway) at 9:30 PM Tonight (Tuesday, November 29th)! A teepee was erected at OGP today after initially being blocked but then succeeding after a stand-down between OO, the police, and the city. This action was an exercise for freedom of religion and is also part of the vigil being held at OGP (see below) and also in support of the tree sitters.

Gentrification. Police. White supremacy. Heteronormativity. Islamaphobia. Diversity of tactics. Non violence. These topics, like so many others, bring up a vast array of different emotions and thoughts for different people. This Thursday evening at 5, the events committee is hosting what will hopefully be the first of many Community Discussion Forums.

Black Friday

Posted by

I was sorry to hear about the success of Black Friday, it feels like a 1% victory.  I stayed home, and don’t plan on buying anything this holiday season because, as usual, I can’t afford it. I hate those words, that year after year I would have to tell my children that we could not afford what they wanted for Christmas and their birthdays, because we just could not afford it, and could not repeatedly put our family in debt to get those special gifts. But you know that the … Continued

Occupy Burger King? Seriously?

Posted by

Just what is this supposed to accomplish? What is it that a local Burger King has done to deserve to be closed down by Occupy Oakland for a week? Is the beef with Burger King Corporate? What happens to the 99% who lose one week’s worth of wages because OO is shutting them down? Why is this happening? How will this advance the cause of this movement? Aren’t there better targets?
