And where the 99% are talking about the history we’re making together. Here is the mass action idea (we call it the kittens action because kittens … Continued

FAILED TO REACH 90% ON DECEMBER 4, 2011. PROPOSAL TABLED. EMERGENCY PROPOSAL. #3 on queue for: Proposal to Decolonize Oakland: Creating a More Radical Movement

December 4, 2011 at 1:50 am.

Posted by Facilitation-Committee

Decolonize Oakland: Creating a More Radical Movement Oakland is home to many communities. To better reflect the multiracial dimensions of our city, we propose that the name be changed from ‘Occupy Oakland’ to ‘Decolonize Oakland.’ Oakland is the ancestral homeland of the Chochenyo Ohlone, an indigenous community that has no collective territory of their own and no recognized legal status or rights. As detailed in The Memorandum of Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples, which the General Assembly passed with 97% support on 28 October 2011, the Chochenyo Ohlone have survived a … 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.
