[Passed at 1/8 GA] Financial Proposal for the Occupy Oakland Media Committee for $500 to pay for BayAction text blast for the month of December

January 8, 2012 at 8:09 am.

Categories: GA Proposals, GA Resolutions

Whereas private parties were paying for the BayAction text blast system, but are now asking us to cover the costs of the system, Occupy Oakland Media Committee is made responsible for the costs and for planning the future of the current text blast system.
The media committee asks for an allocation of $500 to pay for the last month’s usage of the text blast system, including the Port Shutdown. This is an allocation to pay for services that have already been used.
This included $249 for the monthly service, and approximately $250 to cover the costs of the texts themselves.
The exact amount of the bill is not yet known, but any excess funds will be returned.
After the payment of the bill, the system will be shut down and replaced by a more affordable system.

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.
