Reimagine the GA Working Group – The Holdout, Oakland – Friday, March 16, 2012 – 6:00 to 7:30 PM
The Occupy Oakland Facilitation Committee is forming a working group and planning a convening to “Reimagine the General Assembly.” This will be open to any member of Occupy Oakland or the Oakland community.

We’ve created a rich, diverse, and fluid process for radical participatory democracy and consensus-building. As Occupy Oakland has evolved from the days of the camps to an ever-expanding movement of working groups and direct action, it feels useful to ask … Continued
Awesome GA with POC Facilitation Team on Sunday, Feb 5
Sunday GA’s were moved to 19th and Telegraph to allow the participation of those with stay-away orders from OGP. On Sunday, Feb 5, one of those individuals had an opportunity to attend a GA for the first time since his stay away order went into effect weeks ago. He put that opportunity to good use by co-failitating Sunday’s GA as part of the POC facilitation team. Go Chris!
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 General Assembly
The Occupy Oakland General Assembly Facilitation Committee has unfortunately decided that they will not be facilitating a GA this evening, or addressing proposals currently in the queue. No member of the Committee has stepped forward to hold any facilitation team position for tonight’s GA. We have received specific and credible threats against members of OO committees, as well as general threats against OO members at the GA tonight. These threats come from within our community from a member of OO. With the ongoing threats of violence, not just recently, but … Continued
All Female Facilitation Team for GA on Sunday Jan 15, 2012
The Facilitation Team is initiating a new approach towards greater inclusion and diversity of facilitators. The committee has decided to make it a goal to have each Sunday’s facilitation team represent a specific demographic. Initially, we are focusing on creating teams of Female, Queer, People of Color, and Spanish Speaking facilitators. We hope this may offer a fresh approach to the facilitation of the GA’s and help build community. We also hope that this will encourage more people to step forward and facilitate. This Sunday, January 15th, the facilitation … Continued
