Working Group Name: National Occupy Day in Support of Prisoners

This demonstration will feature voices and statements from prisoners, stand in solidarity with prisoner movements such as the Georgia Prison Strike and Pelican Bay Hunger Strike, demand the abolition of unjust sentences, the release of political prisoners, and an end to torture practices such as the SHU and solitary confinement.

Project Budget: $3,799

Item Description and Need: The total budget for the event is $3,970. $1,470 has been raised through our own fundraising efforts. We are asking for $2,500 from Occupy Oakland. We will continue to fundraise, and if we exceed our estimates, we intend to return a portion of the funds to Occupy Oakland.

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.
