The Occupation of the Berkeley Post Office at 2000 Allston Way in downtown Berkeley continues; soon to enter into its 3rd month. Occupiers woke up Monday morning, December 29th, to find a new sign in front of their dwelling. Solidified and supported by two buckets of cement (seriously!) the sign reads

First They Came for the Homeless

in coalition with

Berkeley Post Office Defenders

WE THE PEOPLE

insist that the United States Postal Service is a vital part of our public infrastructure

and that this post office is

OCCUPIED BY THE OWNERS!

The Occupiers and others marked Christmas with another feast prepared by Ed not Bombs. the Postal Police, who have attempted to “persuade” the Occupiers to abandon their space intermittently at 3:00 AM in the morning over the last few weeks have not shown up over the Christmas weekend.

For more information on the fight to save the Berkeley Post Office and the entire Postal Service from privatization see the Berkeley Post Office Defenders website, First They Came for the Homeless Facebook Page, Save The Berkeley Post Office website, and, nationally, the Save the Post Office blog and the National Post Office Collaborate website.

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.
