On “law” and state political repression of Occupy/Decolonize in the lands now called the United States …

This essay gets it right. After all, the American people claiming democratic rights is just oh so inconvenient for the 1% and their representatives. Oakland’s municipal legal experiments are part of a national project to destroy American civil liberties. Tactics and strategies for repression, as well as legal innovations, to make the American people “sit down and shut up” are doubtless being shared across jurisdictions nationally. Stand up, fight back! http://www.salon.com/2012/02/14/occupy_fights_the_law_will_the_law_win/singleton/ John Hayakawa Torok 19871

People’s Anarchist Network, First Communique

February 16, 2012 at 8:29 pm.

PAN Communique #1 Commencement of an Insurrection This is a communique from the People’s Anarchist Network. We are embedded in the unconscious psyche of Western civilization, and we are in the streets, though not always embedded there. We like the wilderness too. We are anonymous cells of friends working for the revolution, in diverse ways. We are hackers, we are treespikers, we’re parents artists and lovers and comrades. We are anonymous. Like psilocybe mycelia we grow underground, unseen, in shit. We’re working with PAN as an umbrella network … Continued

The triumph of civilisation lacks nothing. Neither political terror nor affective poverty. Nor universal sterility. The desert cannot grow anymore: it is everywhere. But it can still deepen. Faced with the evidence of the catastrophe, there are those who get indignant and those who take note, those who denounce and those who get organised. We are among those who get organised. continue… http://bloom0101.org/ 19745

Upcoming Events

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.
