First Friday evening (1/3/14) Oakland Privacy Group (OPG) peeps were out in force doing mock surveillence, distributing anti-Domain Awareness Center (DAC) literature, talking to people about privacy and the DAC, and even making trouble for Jean Quan as she stood by her “Quan For Mayor” booth just a couple of hundred feet away.

A good time was had by all, except, perhaps, the Mayor.

Approval for a contractor to take over Phase II of the DAC contract from SAIC – summarily dismissed months ago for violations of Oakland’s Nuclear Free Zone Ordinance – ~~is supposed to take place at the January 21st City Council meeting.~~

The City Council will discuss the matter February 4th, probably February 5th long after midnight if their past behavior is any kind of a guide. So we won’t be having a big demonstration on the 21st as previously announced, but there will probably be a couple of folks there with food and a movie for those who didn’t get the change of dates.

For more information on the insidiousness of the DAC and how it came to b in Oakland check out the DAC FAQ, the Oakland Wiki Domain Awareness Page and the Oakland Privacy WordPress.

~~OPG hopes to have a large peresence and a big rally on the 21st in front of City Hall at Oscar Grant Plaza, and YOU ARE INVITED.~~

The OPG hopes to have a large presence and a big rally on February 4th in front of City Hall at Oscar Grant Plaza, and YOU ARE INVITED. Please note the change of dates.

We had a great booth, set up close to the Alan Blueford Center 4 Justice, with literature, video, real surveillence and awesome people staffing the area the whole evening.
