Marches, Demonstration, Protests or Strike and Picket line?

Marches, Demonstration, Protests or Strike and Picket line? This is an important question for strategic reasons. Consider that Unions do not need to get a permit to either strike or picket. If this was slightly restructured and we termed this a strike, picket lines and collective bargaining then the general public would understand and stand behind this eventually.

Unions eventually would stand behind this or risk losing their rights to strike, picket and to collective bargaining. Eventually, the Unions would also honor the picket line.

If we said we were all members of the Occupy Movement, Local Oakland California Chapter and each occupy group did this, our voice would be one, and we would have the rights of any organization without having to organize according to any law.

Who exactly is any court, cop or legislator to say who is an organization and who is not. Print cards and be a card carrying Occupy Wall Street Member.

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.
