Hey, Good Couple Weeks Occupy Oakland

March 1, 2012 at 12:41 am.

I think I spend too much time on here or facebook kind of self-critiquing and debating and all that, I don’t know about all of you…. how about we just kind of give ourselves a hand for a good couple weeks? 5 banks shut down (that I know of) and a private country club golf course. We had a Funeral for Capitalism, the FTP march for Oscar Grant to the Fruitvale, a caravan or two went up to help Occupy Sacramento counter-protest white supremacists, and we helped gather hundreds of people at San Quentin for the prisoners’ rights. I’m sure not everybody could take part in every action, and maybe not everybody would approve of every action. But I’m proud of everybody and I’m happy that we are so active right now. Can’t wait for 4/1 and 5/1!

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.
