Be SAFE People, and More Photos

October 25, 2011 at 1:26 am.

I didn’t think I could post any photos from my pano film camera since my film scanner is in repair. However, I figured that I could take photos of it using my digital SLR 🙂 so here are a few of them. I like the one with the Tent City backdropped by City Hall. We are the 99%! http://www.richardmanphoto.com/blog/?p=2999 1311

I spent a week photographing Occupy Wall Street. I went up to Oakland today. I understand that the media and some photographers are not putting the occupation in positive lights. I hope my blog and my photos will help a little to change that: http://www.richardmanphoto.com/blog/?p=2982 All the Best, and good luck. I aim to photography SF next, 1234

Upcoming Events

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.
