Laleh: A Documentary | WIGS Unscripted (Video)

October 14, 2012 at 11:54 pm.

“This documentary just came out as part of a series on women for youtube’s new WIGS channel. And as you will see, it’s been completely OCCUPIED! 🙂 I’m really grateful to the filmmakers for getting this out to a mainstream audience, including footage like J28 and May Day that otherwise never reaches those folks. But most of all, it captures so many loved ones and good memories….it reminds me just how beautiful we are Occupy Oakland… ” ~Laleh video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp3a0Y2tiUw&feature=share&list=PL6BB0DDF5675964BB 42194

Calling Out – Support Mothers and Children within the Movement At a recent Occupy Oakland General Assembly, we brought attention to the fact that there are several homeless mothers with children who’ve been involved in the movement and are currently struggling. As the OO anniversary rolls around, we’re hoping people can step up and support these mothers and their children. Since currently there is no communal space for them, people can contribute time and resources, assist in organizing, and share this information with others who may have resources to contribute. … Continued

The Justice 4 Alan Blueford coalition (JAB) is asking people to come to City Hall Tuesday Oct. 2nd at 5:30pm to support the Blueford family and JAB in their demands for answers, accountability, and justice from city council; and now we also need to demand access as they are trying to limit/deny our right to attend city council meetings. The more people who show up at City Hall, the more support and strength the Blueford’s, JAB, and the entire community will have facing the repressive, dysfunctional, and corrupt entity that comprises City Council, … Continued

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.
