Calendar
Thursday morning, as an act of unity with the Indigenous People’s Sunrise Gathering on Alcatraz Island, Occupy Oakland will be broadcasting the Sunrise Ceremony at Oscar Grant Plaza.
We will be assembling a community altar space beginning in the early morning and continuing throughout the day. All are invited to bring sacred objects to share. In particular, we’re requesting sage, copal, objects symbolizing the 4 directions, images of indigenous resistance, and images of indigenous life before conquest.
The community is also invited to bring breakfast and warm drinks to share with one another after the Sunrise Ceremony is broadcast.
From noon until 5, Terrance Nelson, Clyde Bellecourt, Oglala Vice President Tom Poor Bear and many other will be joining us for a series of speeches, performances and a mid-day feast.
Immediately following, the community will gather for Grateful Mic: Music and Words of Gratitude and Solidarity from the Oakland Community.
Black Friday Protest at Emeryville Mall:
Stop the Desecration of Indigenous Land
Did you know that the Bay Street Mall is built upon a
Sacred Ohlone shellmound burial ground? It is the oldest and largest
burial ground in the bay area – older than the pyramids in Eygpt.
In 2000, it was desecrated to make way for the mall.
Join in the annual action to educate the public about this sacred site.
Bring snacks and signs as we ask holiday shoppers to boycott this mall
to respect the original (and still present!) inhabitants of the Bay Area.
Children and families are welcome.
