Funeral for Capitalism – Oscar Grant Plaza, Oakland – Wednesday, February 29, 2012 – 6:00 PM

February 23, 2012 at 1:30 am.

On Leap Day, use your extra day to attend a funeral for capitalism, which will include a eulogy, procession through the streets with a New Orleans style brass band, a burial, and dancing on the grave to follow.

We invite you to join us at 6:00 PM at Oscar Grant Plaza (14th & Broadway in downtown Oakland) for a funeral procession through the streets to an undisclosed gravesite.

Funeral attire suggested.

Bid farewell to a system that brings us meaningless jobs, billionaires, shopping malls, structural poverty, and ecological collapse. May it roast in hell or rot in peace. Let’s resurrect a world of cooperation, justice, pleasure, and beauty from its moldy bones. Don’t mourn, organize!

Sponsored by the Crafts and Insurrection Convergence & Leap Day Action Night.

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.
