Occupy Everything! Liberate Oakland! Rally @ Grant Ogawa Plaza
Oct 22 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

We live in a world where unemployment and staggering levels of debt are the new normal, where poverty and homelessness are met by police violence and incarceration. The entire global economy is broken, and politicians in the US and elsewhere remain powerless to do anything about it. It’s time to take power into our own hands, to occupy the spaces from which we have been excluded and reclaim everything that has been stolen from us.

  • Solidarity with the worldwide Occupy movement
  • Opposition to an economic system that has never worked for us
  • No gang injunctions, no youth curfews
  • Keep Oakland schools and libraries open

General Strike & Mass Day of Action @ Oscar Grant Plaza
Nov 2 – Nov 3 all-day

General Strike Occupy Everything November 2 2011

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.

Huelga General y Dia de Acciones Masivas @ Oscar Grant Plaza
Nov 2 – Nov 3 all-day

Huelga General 2 Noviembre 2011

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.
