Below is the proposal passed by the Occupy Oakland General Assembly on Wednesday October 26, 2011 in reclaimed Oscar Grant Plaza. 1607 people voted. 1484 voted in favor of the resolution, 77 abstained and 46 voted against it, passing the proposal at 96.9%. The General Assembly operates on a modified consensus process that passes proposals with 90% in favor and with abstaining votes removed from the final count.
PROPOSAL:
We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%.
We propose a city wide general strike and we propose we invite all students to walk out of school. Instead of workers going to work and students going to school, the people will converge on downtown Oakland to shut down the city.
All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them.
While we are calling for a general strike, we are also calling for much more. People who organize out of their neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, affinity groups, workplaces and families are encouraged to self organize in a way that allows them to participate in shutting down the city in whatever manner they are comfortable with and capable of.
The whole world is watching Oakland. Let’s show them what is possible.
Abajo está la propuesta aprobada por la Asamblea General de “Ocupa Oakland” el pasado miércoles, 26 de octubre de 2.011 en la reclamada Plaza de Oscar Grant. 1.607 personas votaron: 1.484 a favor de la resolución, 77 se abstuvieron y 46 votaron en contra, con lo que se aprobó la propuesta con el 96,9%. La Asamblea General opera con un proceso de consenso modificado que aprueba propuestas con un 90% a favor donde las abstenciones son eliminadas del recuento final.
PROPUESTA:
Como compañeros para la ocupación de la Plaza Oscar Grant, proponemos que el miércoles 2 de noviembre de 2.011, liberemos Oakland y cerremos el 1% de la ciudad.
Proponemos una huelga general en toda la ciudad y proponemos que invitemos a todos los estudiantes a salir de las universidades. En lugar de que los trabajadores vayan al trabajo y los estudiantes vayan a la universidad, la gente se reunirá en el centro de Oakland para cerrar la ciudad.
Todos los bancos y corporaciones deberán cerrar todo ese día o protestaremos en su contra.
Mientras que reclamamos una huelga general, también reclamamos mucho más. A la gente que organiza fuera de sus vecindarios, escuelas, organizaciones comunitarias, grupos de afinidad, lugares de trabajo y familias les animamos a organizarse a sí mismos de forma que puedan participar en el cierre de la ciudad como quiera que se sientan cómodos y capaces.
El mundo entero está mirando a Oakland. Demostrémosles que es posible.
El consejo de Coordinación de Huelga empezará a reunirse cada día a las 5 de la tarde en La Plaza Oscar Grant antes de la Asamblea General de las 7 de la tarde. Todos los participantes de la huelga están invitados. Permanezcan atentos a las noticias y nos vemos el próximo miércoles.
Y.O.G.A. = You Occupy, Get Access!
Meets Monday Wednesday, Friday and Sundays at 6.

The most marginalized people within the 99% are fed up and we are calling for an occupation of Well’s Fargo Detention Center in Downtown Oakland just a few yards away from the Occupy Oakland Camp.
Well’s Fargo Detention Center (AKA Bank) has been making Billions of dollars investing in Immigrant Detention Centers (AKA Concentration Camps) and at the same time they invest aggressively in anti-immigrant lobbying to pass laws like Arizona’s SB 1070 which fill those camps with undocumented profit.
67 Sueños is a collective of undocumented youth and allies that refused to be passive about the violence done to our community.
We call on the 99% to stand with your most marginalized brothers, sisters and gender neutrals.
We call on the Bay Area immigrants rights movement to support our efforts to target the main profiteers of our people’s pain.
We call on Occupy Oakland to make this big bank a stones throw away one of your key targets in solidarity with our struggle.
Planning Meeting this Saturday, E-mail 67suenos@gmail for info and to be involved.

Nosotros los mas marginados en este pais hacemos un llamado al 99% de la gente que no son ricos y no ganan cuando Wells Fargo gana, a marchar con nosotros en solidaridad y “Occupar” a Wells Fargo.
El Banco de Well’s Fargo esta contando con cientos de millones de dolares en ganancias gracias al dolor de nuestra comunidad. Resulta Que Wells Fargo invierte mucho dinero en los centros de detension donde aguantan a nuestra gente sin derechos antes de su deportacion. Tambien Invierten su dinero en esfuerzos para crear y aprovar leyes anti-inmigrante como la ley SB 1070 en Arizona. De esta manera ellos aseguran las ganancias de sus inversiones en los centros de detencion. Nosotros Sufrimos por el profito de ellos.
Nuestro grupo, 67 Sueños, es uncollectivo de jovenes indocumentados y nuestros aliados.
Hacemos un llamado al movimiento pro-derechos del migrante a que nos ayuden a luchar contra el egoismo y racismo de este banco.
Hacemos un llamado a nuestros compas en el movimiento que esta “Occupando a Oakland” a que se unan a esta demonstracion en solidaridad.
Para participar en la organizacion de esta accion escribanos un correo electronico a 67suenos@gmail.com

Hey all! It’s time to pack City Hall again! Stop the Injunctions believes that we are in a culmination moment in this struggle against gang injunctions in Oakland, and we are stronger than ever!
Last month we defeated City Council in trying to roll out more injunctions. This month OPD will be presenting their “crime data” on the North Oakland injunction zone from the last year. Come out to represent the whole picture! STIC and our allies (you) will talk about the social and economic impacts of injunctions. City Council is stalling on doing a thorough, independent review of injunctions; we cannot allow them to sit on their hands any longer. LET’S KEEP OUT CITY ACCOUNTABLE AND CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE FUNDING OF POLICE BRUTALITY, THE FUNDING OF POLICE SURVEILLANCE and THE DE-FUNDING OF REAL SOLUTIONS LIKE EDUCATION, JOB OPPORTUNITIES and MEANINGFUL CULTURAL WORK!
TUESDAY EVENING, 5:30 pm, til….? come whenever you can. People power!
14th and Broadway, City Hall, downtown Oakland.
We’ll also have stacks of the beautiful posters by Melanie Cervantes/Dignidad Rebelde, so get excited about picking up a some heartfelt propaganda to share with the world where our struggle is at!
