We hear you!

I was hoping things would not come to this. I am from Riverside County, and I have seen the vids on YouTube and the news reports and again on our Occupy FB page. When I see the fighting, I feel like I have a emptiness in my gut. Sometimes fighting seems like the right thing to do. I have fought in a riot In Watsonville in the 80’s. At the time it was such a rush, but then a man almost got killed, and others were hospitalized. We don’t need to do this! We cannot win this fight unless we employ non violent resistance. We have more power using non violent methods. The police have more physical power, YOU have more political power. The world hears your protests! So many have your back. You have many choices, use them wisely. Thank You for listening. ~~~Liandre

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.
