Day 33 About to Dawn over the Occupation of the Berkeley Post Office.

August 28, 2013 at 7:54 am.

This beautiful picture of the Berkeley Post Office occupation was taken before dawn on August 28th. this day began the 33rd day of continuous Occupation – despite multiple incidents of police harassment.

Yesterday, the Postal Regulatory Commission dismissed without prejudice the appeal by the Mayor of Berkeley to keep the Downtown Berkeley Post Office open – meaning that the appeal could be submitted again once the Post Office decides where they intend to relocate services to.

As Berkeley’s Mayor points out, there are no suitable locations with enough space for relocated services within the same zip code, and such space, if it existed, would be hella expensive; and yet the Post Office has claimed that exactly the same services and service hours will be maintained within the zip code area.

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.
