Monday, March 5, 2012 at 2:00 PM – Dept 112, Wiley Manuel Courthouse (7th & Washington)

Rally in support of 3 Occupy Oaklanders facing false and outrageously inflated charges as part of the DA & OPD’s campaign of collusion to target and repress Occupy Oakland.

Three Occupy Oaklanders were arrested last week on charges stemming from an alleged stolen wallet. This alleged incident has prompted the DA to pursue felony robbery and hate crime charges against these individuals, who are now being held in custody with bails exceeding $100,000 each.

On Monday, March 5, 2012, Occupy Oakland will descend upon the courthouse to protest this gross manipulation of the “justice” system to target members of our movement. We will also be holding a celebration to honor the birthday of one of these jailed occupiers.

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.
