One Response to “Homeland Security, the Pentagon and the Occupy Movement”

vets74 June 12, 2012

Occupy tried to get to nonviolent protests. But the commitment of time and effort was less than a tenth of what Dr. King, SCLC and SNCC put in for the Civil rights Marches in the 1950s/60s/70s.

One 15-minute training session ain’t enough.

There’s an Occupy Nonviolence page on Facebook that offers resources. SCLC in Atlanta has a full-blown international program with everything you’d need.

Occupy Frankfurt is now the best of the Occupy sites. They work with the Polizei, hand in hand to support free speech. It’s the opposite to what happened in Oakland. (Oakland and New York are the worst. But don’t put blame 100% on the PDs.)

You get back what you put in.

Best to all —

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.
