Unleashing the Collective Genius of San Francisco.

Interview with Beverly Pitzer, TransitionSF

by Willi Paul, Permaculture Exchange

– excerpt –

“Personally, I don’t see competition really playing a role in this movement.

For this global experiment to work, we need cooperation and lots of it.

Competition and a built in sense of scarcity have been the basis of our

economy for a long time. As experts like Richard Heinberg share, we have

reached the limits of growth, and operating in the same competitive mindset

will not help us to build community resilience.” BP

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.
