GAs should be in a totally accessible location – if attending a GA means breaking the law, then it is not accessible for those who cannot risk arrest due to parole status, past conviction, immigration status, health concerns, or other responsibilities such as having children. Not to mention that this leaves people who do not wish to break the law out of the voting process, making OO a much smaller and more radicalized group. Civil disobedience should always be a CHOICE, and not a REQUIREMENT, in this case, of voting. Also, the proposal … Continued

Publish proposals at least a day before meetings.

Recently, the GA passed a proposal to take a large building as a social center for Occupy Oakland. The date for this action is January 28, 2012.
