Tuesday Demo in Solidarity with Cairo

November 21, 2011 at 11:34 pm.

Last minute solidarity demo organized by members of Occupy Oakland in response to calls from Egyptian comrades for an international day of action to support the Egyptian people in their continued revolution. The past days have seen intense clashes in and around Tahrir square that have left dozens dead in confrontations with security forces of the current military government (SCAF – Supreme Council of the Armed Forces). The people of Egypt continue to struggle for freedom and once again we must stand with them as they have stood by Oakland. … Continued

Posted by David Heatherly

If you are following the news on Democracynow or other non-corporate news sources, you are hearing like I am all these reports of brutal military attacks on the protestors in Tahrir Square of Cairo. We have exchanged many messages of solidarity with them because they seek the same things we seek, fundamentally: democracy, a voice for themselves and their children in the future, a peaceful resolution to decades of manufactured conflict, the chance for somebody to work hard and improve his/her life. There is a march planned for tomorrow at … Continued

Petition to Stop Violence Towards Peaceful Protesters

November 21, 2011 at 7:19 pm.

Posted by Mikeys

Petition to Stop Violence Towards Peaceful Protesters In order to stop violence towards peaceful protesters, we must stand strong with peace and dignity to preserve our rights as civil human beings. We must also allow others, whether we agree or disagree, to have the same rights as our own and without harm. This is vital to maintaining our own freedom. The reason this petition to stop violence towards peaceful protesters was created is because there is too much police brutality in too many cities across the nation. Don’t believe me? … Continued

In Radical Defense of Non-Violence

November 21, 2011 at 2:48 pm.

Posted by Anon11010110

I am a strong supporter of Non-Violence. I do not believe in Violence on a personal philosophical level. I believe that the use of force to conform any person to your will is an affront to freedom everywhere and the autonomy of every person on earth. To use anarchist rhetoric any use of physical force against an individual is, in fact, fascism. Regardless of a strong stance of Non-Violence within the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the deep discussions that have happened at Occupy Oakland about the definition and nature of violence, it is clear that … Continued

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.
