Y.O.G.A. = You Occupy, Get Access!
Meeting to set the agenda for Sunday’s General Assembly
Media Committee is dedicated to spreading our message throughout the world via digital content and more traditional forms of media. Meetings on Saturdays, 4pm at Oscar Grant Plaza.
Members from the events committee and the Anti-repression committee as well as other participants from Occupy Oakland are organizing a prisoner solidarity event to bring in the new year. On December 31st meet at Oscar Grant Plaza at 9pm. We’ll begin with a march to the jail for a noisy demonstration to show prisoners we have not forgotten them in our struggles. Afterward, we’ll return to the Plaza for a Dance Party
This event is inspired by the North American call out for a day of action against prisons in the New Year of 2011, which remains relevant and unchanged:
Noise demos outside of prisons in some countries are a continuing tradition. A way of expressing solidarity for people imprisoned during the New Year, remembering those held captive by the state. A noise demo breaks the isolation and alienation of the cells our enemies create.

This meeting is a place for all the work groups, committees, and caucuses of Occupy Oakland to meet up, update each other on events, procedures, concerns etc. It is designed so that there is more transparency and solitary, and between the work groups. Please send two reps with an update from your work group.

Regular meeting times: Tuesdays & Thursday @ 6:30PM, Sundays @ 4:00PM.
This is a meeting for people who self-identify as people of color/ queer people of color. We meet with the goal of strengthening our participation in the Occupy movement here in Oakland and beyond, and to likewise strengthen the Occupy movement by situating it in the context of our local, living communities and the ongoing work being done by those communities.
Our meeting location sometimes changes based on the availability of spaces. Please contact us at peopleofcolor@occupyoakland.org for up-to-date information. Please also be patient (and persistent) if we don’t respond as quickly as we would like to. We’re growing and evolving our capacities!

“Record Occupy Oakland” will encourage all comers to write their personal experience and their personal observations. We’ll read and review essays, poems, stories, memoirs, plays, speeches, and help make them vivid and powerful. And we will be a connecting house to places where a record can be published. We can also entertain the idea of building a SLAM team. Bring paper and pens that work, or laptops, to the workshop.
North Side, Oscar Grant Plaza
Occupy Oakland is a resurrection movement, and it has once again risen from the dead after the police raid early Monday morning! Join us Wednesday for our weekly “Liberation Bible Study” at Oscar Grant/Frank Ogawa Plaza. just prior to General Assembly, which begins at 6.
We are excited to announce that this week, the Bible study will be led by Gerald O. West, a visiting South African liberation worker and Bible scholar who was active as a white man in the anti-Apartheid movement and now teaches at the Ujaama Center.
In these Bible studies, we read scripture together for guidance in how to decolonize our minds and spirits in the context of the Occupy (to Decolonize) Oakland movement. Join us every Wednesday or whenever you can.
We will meet at the entrance to the plaza just north of Tully’s at 14th and Broadway. Look for the circle of people with a stack of Bibles in the middle.
Occupella is having a song circle every Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in the amphitheater
