i just switched to my gmail handle (aka teaksmama) , so my communication with you all is in sync. happy monday. i have comments about the decision to have fewer meetings of the general assembly. i’m not totally against that, but making that decision based on how many people showed up for the meeting the day after a big event is kinda questionable. some of us, myself included, were physically undone by the march. that great success was so much fun, but took my body a whole day to stop hurting…

i have many other issues i hope we will continue discussing, not the least of which is violence and destructive behavior by a few that is making the whole movement look bad. please talk with me and each other about these things. we are at a turning point. we have to be clear how we will represent ourselves.

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.
