Scott Olsen gave an interview which is posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/embed/5n2Aaxe60CY. I am sure we, in Oakland, want to say positive things about him.

One Response to “Occupy Oakland Scott Olsen”

David Heatherly November 30, 2011

I met Scott Olsen, two days before the police attack that put him in the hospital. He’s a really sweet natured guy, kind of quiet but not shy, you know? He is a pacifist. I’m not sure what he is going to think when he hears about how Occupy Oakland has refused to join the rest of the Occupy movement in denouncing violence.

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.
