Block ICE From Taking Over FCI Dublin @ County Building

Apr 7 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

ICE is actively acquiring warehouses and eyeing shuttered prisons across the country to convert into immigrant detention centers. FCI Dublin, the closed federal prison 20 miles southeast of Oakland, is at risk of being converted. If ICE took it over, it would become the only ICE detention facility in the entire Bay Area, putting our neighbors, families, and community members at increased risk.

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors will vote on a resolution to oppose FCI Dublin being converted and reopened as an ICE detention center or any other kind of correctional facility. Co-sponsored by Supervisors David Haubert and Elisa Marquez, this resolution is a direct roadblock against ICE expansion in our community, and your presence can help it pass.

(In-person AND online. Both count)

Here’s how to take action:

1. SHOW UP. Attend in person or join online at 1pm on Tuesday, April 7. Your physical presence sends a powerful message to the Board.

2. SPEAK UP. Public comment is one of the most impactful things you can do. See our toolkit for step-by-step guidelines on how to comment in person or online.

3. CAN’T MAKE IT? Submit written comments by EMAIL by Monday, April 6 at 3:00 PM. Comments received by this deadline will be distributed directly to all Board members. Submit a comment here. Check the toolkit for the updated agenda item number and talking points.

4. SIGN UP HERE WITH THE ICE OUT OF DUBLIN COALITION to let us know you are participating. It takes 30 seconds and helps us coordinate a strong showing.

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.
