This Sunday, May 25th GA will be held at Mike Wilson’s digs in El Cerrito as part of a festive potluck BBQ that starts at noon.  We will stop sucking down brews and scarfing BBQ flesh for a reasonable period between 2PM & 3PM at our normally scheduled OGP GA time and discuss how to overthrow capitalism and all the awesome stuff we’ve done in the past week and plan to do in the next week.

A BARBECUE FOR HERBIVORES AND CARNIVORES ALIKE

The time of year cries out for a backyard party to ring in the outdoor season, and there’s no more benevolent use for carbon as a fuel than a barbecue.  Also, we’ll be saying “Keep in touch” to our great friend Hannah who will be leaving in June for Gomorrah – the City of Angels – with her family.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly meets Sundays, 2-4 PM at Oscar Grant Plaza amphitheater at 14th Street & Broadway, often on the steps of City Hall. “If it is raining (as in RAINING, not just misting) at 2:00 PM we meet inside at the Sudoroom, 2141 Broadway, the  entrance is on 22nd St between Telegraph and Broadway. Ring the buzzer and say you are here for the OO GA.  Directions

We have met on a continuous basis for almost two and a half years! Our General Assembly is a participatory gathering of Oakland community members and beyond, where everyone who shows up is treated equally . Our Assembly and the process we have collectively cultivated strives to reach agreement while building community.

The bulk of the work of Occupy Oakland does NOT happen in the General Assembly. It happens in various committees, caucuses, and loosely associated groups whose representatives voluntarily come to the GA and report on past and future actions. We encourage everyone participating in the Occupy Oakland GA to be part of at least one associated group, but it is by no means a requirement.  If you like, just come and hear all the organizing being done! Occupy Oakland encourages political activity that is decentralized and welcomes diverse voices and actions into the movement.
