Proposal to Have the OO GA sign-on to the OccupySF A Declaration from the Occupation

In order to declare solidarity with our fellow occupy movements and affirm our commitment to the concept of occupation, we propose that the General Assembly of OccupyOakland stand with OccupySF by signing on to the Declaration from the Occupation approved by the OccupySF General Assembly on Tuesday, November 15^th, 2011.

We propose to adopt the Declaration as written, with one omission: The removal of the word “nonviolent” from paragraph 4. This is not an endorsement of violent resistance or a rebuttal of nonviolent action, but simply allows avoidance of a discussion of tactics, and embracing the variety of tactics important to the members of the occupy movement.

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.
