We must Defund the Police

November 18, 2011 at 5:32 am.

We are passing this on for your consideration. As we see it, the militarized police of our communities are waging an illegal war against our citizens. We must immediately take back our tax dollars that are supporting actions against us. and fire them all.The police supposedly have taken an oath to protect and serve the citizens of our communities. Instead they are serving the criminal corporations that have devastated our economy. and we, the citizens are paying for it. 6684

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.
