This writer has some good ideas for constructive action by the Chamber of Commerce, the City Council, and others. Basically, let’s all calm the situation and take time to figure out how to solve Oakland’s underlying problems. http://oaklandlocal.com/posts/2011/11/my-viewpoint-occupy-oakland-community-voices 5937
This is interesting. A new idea to tie the Occupys together and provide support. Maybe someone(s) from Occupy Oakland should participate in the conference calls, or even suggest one about some of the topics we are struggling with. http://interoccupy.org/ 5891
Did you see this? Could something similar be worked out with City of Oakland? http://www.watchsonomacounty.com/2011/11/cities/occupy-santa-rosa-campers-win-right-to-stay/ The city council is issuing camping permits. Quite a few restrictions but maybe could be adapted to the Oakland site. Crazy idea?? 5779
I see you have a link to amazon.com for donations. Is that working? If I buy something there, will it get to you? How does that work exactly? What happens when the delivery comes to the Plaza? Thanks for all you are doing down there! 2384
I see you have a link to an amazon.com wishlist. Is that working ok? If I buy something, will it get to you? I hear you need tents especially. 2379
