OCCUPY CLEAR CHANNEL BILLBOARDS!!!

March 2, 2012 at 11:04 pm.

a CALL to: OCCUPY CLEAR CHANNEL BILLBOARDS !!! The Media Monopoly Clear Channel (famous for sterilizing and dominating the airwaves and supporting Pro-war policy during the Bush Admin.), dismissed a call for diversity within the ranks of their company. The fact that we have allowed their billboards to occupy our city and visual commons has always been whak. Let no Clear Channel Billboard be left untouched! Clear Channel can whore its corporate messages in some others city’s commons. http://www.eurweb.com/2012/03/clear-channels-kfi-dismisses-black-coalitions-call-for-diversity/ 22647

A little note in support for the Teachers (and Classified staff) at Novato Unified School District. On Tuesday February 28, 2012, while driving through downtown Novato, I saw a group of Novato Unified School District (NUSD) teachers who were protesting outside their district’s main office. That made me happy so I stopped and took some photos. Some of the teachers were telling me that they were there because they deserve to have a fair salary increase for the work they do. I was also told that the School District has … Continued

On March 6, 2012, Israeli President Shimon Peres will come to Temple Emanu-El in San Francisco to give a talk titled “Israel and the Jewish People: A Vision of Tomorrow.” In light of this theme, we want to show Peres what our vision of tomorrow would look like by warmly greeting him with a mass protest against apartheid outside of the temple. Shimon Peres, as seen by the choice of his themed talk, is a positive thinker. He likes to put things into positive light and make the future look … Continued

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.
