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.

 Who wins in a war with Iran? @ Online
Tickets
Nov 9 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Green Sunday:  Who wins in a war with Iran?
By the time you read this, we may already be at war with Iran. That is how imminent most analysts think it is. If so, my talk will be quite different from what I intend at this writing, because I am among a small minority who believe it will not happen, and not out of wishful thinking, but rather cold analysis. 
In either case, my analysis is framed around Iran’s place in the Axis of Resistance, its military and strategic capability, its culture, US intelligence assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of war, the influence of Israel on US and NATO policy, and other considerations.
Paul Larudee is a former Ford Foundation project supervisor and Fulbright-Hays lecturer in Lebanon, and US government advisor to Saudi Arabia.  He has been on the faculty of San Francisco State University, the University of San Francisco, St. Mary’s College in Moraga and Haigazian College in Beirut.  He was with the International Solidarity Movement in Palestine and co-founded the movement to break the Israeli naval siege of Gaza.  He was aboard the boats that successfully entered Gaza in 2008 and the 2010 Flotilla attacked by Israel.  He was shot by an Israeli soldier in 2002.  He co-founded the Global March to Jerusalem, the Free Palestine Movement and the Syria Solidarity Movement.  He was one of six US observers of the Syrian presidential elections in June, 2014.  He is CFO of the Association for Investment in Popular Action Committees, a 501(c)(3) corporation that sponsors human rights and humanitarian aid projects in West Asia, Latin America and other regions. He publishes on Substack and Dissident Voice, and occasionally other publications.
 
Green Sundays are a series of free public programs & discussions on topics “du jour” sponsored by the Green Party of Alameda County and held on the 2nd Sunday of each month. The monthly business meeting of the County Council of the Green Party follows at 7:00 pm. Council meetings are open to anyone who is interested.
