Posted by GNUWorldOrder

Anna Karewicz, who is known to her friends as Ankah, is a puppeteer, artist, and avid community gardener who lives in Oakland. On Thursday, August 2nd, the group with which she was bicycle touring in Northern California mistakenly rode on the wrong side of the street on a city block in Arcata. The group was stopped by police. The other riders received traffic infraction citations and were allowed to go on their way. Ankah, however, was subjected to questioning as if the officer was an agent of ICE (Immigration and … Continued

General Assembly time and place

July 27, 2012 at 1:03 pm.

Posted by GNUWorldOrder

I went to GA Sunday at 19th & Telegraph. It was sparsely attended, perhaps 40 folks, maybe a few more if we add the gaggle of Segway tourists. A little later I attended an FTP assembly at Mosswood Park that had about twice as many people. Perhaps people feel that GA has outlived its usefulness, I think we’ve only had quorum once since May Day (July 15th, and that GA we reduced quorum from 100 to 70). But perhaps the time and location is at least part of the problem. … 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.
