Today please call City of Oakland Arborist, Mitchell Thompson (phone is 510-615-5568 ) and demand that he tell his dept. of Public Works to STOP flooding the park square with water to saturate and flood the soil which will cause the ancient oak tree to drown due to lack of oxygen to the root system. Over watering the soil can also cause fungus to grow on the tree and kill it as well. Store from yesterday 12/7/11 in the East Bay Express is here…. http://www.eastbayexpress.com/92510/archives/2011/12/07/frank-ogawa-plaza-flooding-threatens-historic-oak-tree

You can read about tree care in this article so you can articulate your concern to Mr. Thompson. Thanks and please share this on your FB page as well : )

LONG LIVE OCCUPY OAKLAND !!

we delivered this message in public to the mayor and councilmembers at a council meeting a couple of weeks ago. they don’t care. they’ll just blame the murder of the tree on us. sad.

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.
