Educators Reception

“A Child’s View from Gaza”

Friday, November 4, 4-6pm

917 Washington Street

Oakland, CA –right around the corner!

Refreshments will be served!

We would like to invite you to a reception for teachers to see “A Child’s View from Gaza.” This is an exhibit of extraordinary art created by Palestinian children living in Gaza. The artists, who range in age from 7-14, all lived through Israel’s bombing and invasion of Gaza from December 2008-January 2009. The drawings express their feelings and understandings of that experience.

This is an informal event, designed to give you a chance to see the drawings and talk with other teachers about how our classes might use and respond to the works. Several educators and artists who have been working experience working with children in Palestine will be on hand to answer questions and brainstorm creative art projects for your own classrooms. Please drop by!

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.
