Block the Black Bloc

Fellow 99ers!

I’m sickened by the antics of a few kids who want to go out and break stuff.

If we’re not going to work with the police, we’re going to need to come up with our own security force, a White Bloc, if you will.

Just as medics’ sole responsibility is to care for the injured in popular demonstrations, the White Bloc’s sole responsibility is to ensure that the kids in black don’t get too far in their wanton destruction of property. White Bloc should be sanctioned by the General Assembly.

Just a suggestion, hope this gains traction, don’t know what else can help, but something needs to be done.

Thanks to everyone who did their best to prevent damage to our city on Nov. 2.

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.
