Calendar

This 5-part course is designed for anyone interested in studying technology and data as the new frontier in organizing against the systems of enforcement and criminalization that harm our communities.

Three years since beginning our monumental #NoTechForICE campaign, we’re launching this course to share resources we’ve developed and to create a digital space for deepening our collective understanding of the ever-expanding state of surveillance––and how to organize against it.

By signing up for this course, you will hear from organizers, professors, and movement leaders who contribute towards this powerful movement for a surveillance-free future. Lessons will cover: data colonialism, race and policing, immigration enforcement, border militarization, global migration, organizing tools, and more.

Alongside key speakers, you will engage with selected readings, reflection questions, and meet other people thinking through these issues of 21st century technologies in their own communities. Join us every two weeks for one hour as we learn together and continue to build a path that centers communities targeted by the detention and deportation machinery, policing, and military operations.

We know that left unchecked, we will be facing down a new world order designed and controlled by big tech and enabled by the government.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH US!

Session Dates

Live sessions will take place biweekly on Wednesdays for one hour at 3pm PST/5PM CST/6pm EST. Lesson materials and content for each lesson will be unlocked prior to the live session.

Session 1: February 23rd
Session 2: March 9th

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly meets every Sunday at 4 PM at Oscar Grant Plaza amphitheater at 14th Street & Broadway near the steps of City Hall. If for some reason the amphitheater is being used otherwise and/or OGP itself is inaccessible, we will meet at Kaiser Park, right next to the statues, on 19th St. between San Pablo and Telegraph. If it is raining (as in RAINING, not just misting) at 4:00 PM we meet in the basement of the Omni Collective, 4799 Shattuck Ave., Oakland. (Note: we tend to meet at 3:00 PM during the cooler months from November to early March after Daylights Savings Time.)

On every ‘last Sunday’ we meet a little earlier at 3 PM to have a community potluck to which all are welcome.

OO General Assembly has met on a continuous basis for over six years, since October 2011! Our General Assembly is a participatory gathering of Oakland community members and beyond, where everyone who shows up is treated equally. Our Assembly and the process we have collectively cultivated strives to reach agreement while building community.

At the GA committees, caucuses, and loosely associated groups whose representatives come voluntarily report on past and future actions, with discussion. We encourage everyone participating in the Occupy Oakland GA to be part of at least one associated group, but it is by no means a requirement. If you like, just come and hear all the organizing being done! Occupy Oakland encourages political activity that is decentralized and welcomes diverse voices and actions into the movement.

In alliance with the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) we organized the October 23, 2010 labor and community rally for Justice for Oscar Grant. On that day the ILWU shut down the Bay Area ports in solidarity. Our mission is to educate, organize and mobilize people against police and state repression. Sisters and brothers! The Oscar Grant Committee invites you to join us in this vital struggle.

We meet on the 1^st Monday of each month

OTU’s Mission

The Oakland Tenants Union is an organization of housing activists dedicated to protecting tenant rights and interests. OTU does this by working directly with tenants in their struggle with landlords, impacting legislation and public policy about housing, community education, and working with other organizations committed to furthering renters’ rights. The Oakland Tenants Union is open to anyone who shares our core values and who believes that tenants themselves have the primary responsibility to work on their own behalf.

Monthly Meetings

The Oakland Tenants Union meets regularly at 7:00 pm on the second Monday evening of each month. Our monthly meetings are held in the Community Room of the Madison Park Apartments, 100 – 9th Street (at Oak Street, across from the Lake Merritt BART Station). To enter, gently knock on the window of the room to the right of the main entrance to the building. At the meetings, first we focus on general issues affecting renters city-wide and then second we offer advice to renters regarding their individual concerns.

If you have an issue, a question, or need advice about a tenant/landlord issue, please call us at (510) 704-5276. Leave a message with your name and phone number and someone will get back to you.

Agenda and zoom link will be posted here

Our campaign to ban oil and gas drilling in Contra Costa is at a key point:  On May 11 the county Planning Commission will meet to consider the new oil and gas policy in the Conservation Element of the General Plan, which will determine land use decisions for the next twenty years.  Let’s all show up (via Zoom) to tell them: Ban drilling!

Under the current proposed plan, the county would keep approving more oil and gas drilling, with unspecified mitigation of negative impacts.  They are proposing 3,200′ setbacks, but research has found harmful pollution from drilling 2.5 miles away.

And they’re begging the climate issue altogether.  The new “code red for humanity” announcement from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says we need to stop extracting fossil fuels before the end of the decade.   Approving more fossil fuel extraction is counter to the county’s declared climate policy — and to a basic sense of survival!

So rather than meeting with each other this month on Sunday (which happens to be Mother’s Day), let’s all get together at the Planning Commission meeting May 11 and deliver our message loud and clear.

Most of the 3,300+ people who signed the petition are Contra Costa residents.  But for this meeting, the Planning Commission needs to hear from people all over the Bay Area.  We all have a stake in this!  We need to tell them we’re counting on them to protect our health: both from immediate toxic pollution and climate catastrophe.

More information and talking points here.

On May 8, we can honor our mothers in our personal ways.  And we can honor all mothers and Mother Earth the following Wednesday by making it clear to the Planning Commission that drilling has to stop.

Agenda and zoom link will be posted here

Our Green New Deal Committee meets on the second Wednesday each month. We will discuss eco-socialist issues, upcoming events and actions, committee priorities, and campaigns. All are welcome! Please RSVP to receive the URL to the meeting or email green-new-deal@eastbaydsa.org.

Please email contact@oaklandprivacy.org a few days before the meeting to get up-to-date location information or obtain Zoom meeting access info.

Join Oakland Privacy to organize against the surveillance state, police militarization and ICE, and to advocate for surveillance regulation around the Bay and nationwide.

We fight against spy drones, facial recognition, tracking equipment, police body camera secrecy, anti-transparency laws and requirements for “backdoors” to cellphones; we oppose “pre-crime” and “thought-crime,” —  to list just a few invasions of our privacy by all levels of Government, and attempts to hide what government officials, employees and agencies are doing.

We draft and push for privacy legislation for City Councils, at the County level, and in Sacramento. We advocate in op-eds and in the streets. We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and believe no one is illegal.

Check out some of what we worked on in 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Oakland Privacy originally came together in 2013 to fight against the Domain Awareness Center, Oakland’s citywide networked mass surveillance hub. OP was instrumental in stopping the DAC from becoming a city-wide spying network.  We helped fight and helped win the fight against Urban Shield.

Our major projects currently include local legislation to regulate state surveillance (we got the strongest surveillance regulation ordinance in the country passed in Oakland!), supporting and opposing state legislation as appropriate, battling mass surveillance in the form of facial recognition and other analytics, mass aerial surveillance, ubiquitous license plate readers, and pushing back against ICE.

On September 12th, 2019 we were presented with a Barlow Award by the Electronic Frontier Foundation for our work, and on March 16th, 2021 s James Madison Freedom of Information Award by the Northern California Society of Professional Journalists.

“WATCHING YOU WATCHING US”

Oakland Privacy works regionally to defend the right to privacy and enhance public transparency and oversight regarding the use of surveillance techniques and equipment.  Oakland Privacy drove the passage of surveillance regulation and transparency ordinances in Oakland and Berkeley and is kicking off new processes in various municipalities around the Bay.  To help slow down the encroaching police and surveillance state all over the Bay Area, join us at the Omni.

New Poll: Young Voters Want Biden To Cancel Student Loans For Everyone

The Failed Legal Case Against Student Debt Jubilee
John P. Hunt University of California, Davis – School of Law May 17, 2022

Just In;  People’s Park Berkeley is now officially signed onto the
National Register of Historic Places at the level of National significance.

Greetings Comrades
The university is now moving tent people out of the park, making the final preparation for
their final assault on our park.  There are several legal actions making their way through the courts
but we know UC will not be deterred by impending legal action.  Their Anchor House project in
being challenged by a legal suit that includes People’s Park and UC has already cleared the site.

We need to prepare for serious civil disobedience and are therefore asking each of you to extend
to your varied memberships an invitation to meet up at People’s Park this Saturday May 28 at 6 pm.
This will be first a community building by getting to meet fellow park supporters and then followed
by forming working groups to solidify all our strengths into the most effective defense of the park
possible.

We know each of your organizations is busy with its own mission and therefore some of you might
come on Saturday only to show solidarity.  We would deeply appreciate your presence.  Those of
you who have a few hours a week could make a difference in this struggle, considering the years
you have devoted to the cause of justice for all.

To receive an alarm when the assult of the park begins: text  SAVETHEPARK to the number 74121

Thank you,
joe liesner, People’s Park Council, People’s Park Historic District Advocacy Group
