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.

As socialists, we believe workers play a particular role under capitalism that makes them central in the fight for socialism. But in recent history in the US, labor and the left have been separated, leaving us vulnerable to capitalism attacks. How do we rebuild a fighting labor movement that can meaningfully challenge capital? Enter the Rank & File Strategy.

What is the Rank & File Strategy? How should socialists engage with it? How is it different from just “socialists taking rank & file jobs”? Join the East Bay DSA Political Education Committee for a discussion of these questions and more.

We are thrilled to feature two vital contributors to the labor movement, Jane Slaughter and John Pearson! Jane Slaughter is a journalist with a storied history in the US labor movement. She is a co-founder of Labor Notes, a media and organizing project that has been the voice of union activists who want to put the movement back in the labor movement since 1979. She authored Concessions and How To Beat Them and co-authored the indispensable workplace organizing handbook Secrets of a Successful Organizer. John Pearson, RN, is a rank-and-file ER nurse at Highland Hospital and Alameda Health System Chapter President for SEIU Local 1021. He was instrumental in the East Bay’s historic, and victorious, healthcare worker strike in 2020.

Join a virtual training to learn about what’s currently happening with DAPL and how you can take action.  Very soon the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will head to court and share their findings from the environmental impact review of the Dakota Access pipeline and the danger it poses to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.  This April 9th hearing is critical because the court could order the Army Corps of Engineers to shut it down.  We need to stand in solidarity with Indigenous water protectors and allies!  Every single day that passes, the health and safety of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe are threatened.

To help people join the fight, 350.org is hosting a special training led by on-the-ground activists and Indigenous leaders.  Attendees will learn how to take actions to stop DAPL, Line 3, and all other fossil fuel projects.

RSVP NOW

Can’t make it?  RSVP and you’ll be sent a recording.

Special guests will provide the latest updates on the fight to stop the Dakota Access pipeline.  These will include a representative from the Tasina Sapa Win Makwa Initiative who is running from the DAPL construction site in Standing Rock to the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota to Washington, D.C.  Runners will arrive in D.C. on April 1 to deliver a clear message to President Biden: Stop the Dakota Access pipeline and all fossil fuel projects.  Other speakers include Dawn Goodwin of the Rise Coalition and Nancy Beaulieu of MN350.

Experienced trainers will also lead sessions where you’ll learn about easy actions you can take to stand in solidarity with the Indigenous runners.  You’ll have the option of choosing one of two training sessions:

• For those with a local Army Corps of Engineers office:  “How to host an action at your local Army Corps of Engineers” led by our friends at Food and Water Watch, Shutdown DC, and the Indigenous Environmental Network.
• For everyone else:  “How to host an action at the office of your local member of Congress” led by the 350 team.

Together, we can hold the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers accountable and push President Biden to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline and all fossil fuel projects, but it’s going to take all of us getting involved.

Can you join the fight and attend the virtual training  to hear the latest from Indigenous runners and learn how you can hold a solidarity action?

With the pandemic and its multiple, intersecting crises, and the polling popularity of Medicare for All, our commitment to the movement is more important than ever. Come learn about our committee’s efforts, as well as local, state, and national initiatives around Medicare for All and single-payer healthcare. All are welcome!

http://www.vimeo.com/grandmothers4aGND/APathForward

Please watch the video before the workshop.

The video addresses the question: What is the Green New Deal and why does it matter?  It reviews the basics of the threat of climate catastrophe, the need for a radical restructuring of society for racial, gender, and economic justice, and why these things are inseparably connected. All in the voices of grandmothers talking about why this matters to them.

How do I become a member of CDP? How do I get on their mailing list? How do I get on their extra special contact list to get personalized text messages about upcoming events? When is CDP launching? What are they launching? What is participatory budgeting? Why do they want the residents of Oakland to decide the entire city budget? Who’s funding this project? Who’s leading it? Why should I join CDP? Do I get a prize or like…earn a badge for joining?

If you know the answers to ANY of these questions, join us at our new monthly CDP orientation to help us answer them when NEWBIES join! If you’re a supporter of CDP and want to know more, then join us for this informal Q&A session! If you follow us on social media and want to get MORE involved, then join us to learn about the first step to joining this revolution!

Once all of the questions are exhausted, and you feel fully oriented, our orientation will turn into what was our regularly scheduled Hella People Power Happy Hour where we play games, talk shit about shitty things, and/or do whatever you like!

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

Green Eco-Socialist Network – 3 part series with David Cobb, Meleiza Figueroa, David Bond, Chey Bell!

Join us for a deep dive into Eco-Socialism, and learn how the capitalist status quo deprives us of our human rights and aspirations. The first presentation in this 3-part series is an introduction to Eco-Socialism vs. Capitalism including a discussion of what Eco-Socialism may mean to you.
The world we need and deserve is not only possible, it is an imperative. We and our children will not survive the status quo.

Event is FREE – advance registration required: https://rebrand.ly/GreenEcoSocialism.

Here’s the Facebook event page.

Event opens with Comedian Chey Bell !

The two following presentations in the series will build on the first event and will be held on Feb. 20th and April 10th, 2021. Presentations will focus on Eco-Socialist platforms and programs and institutions being built around the country to shift away from capitalist systems and into a just, sustainable future.

2020 showed us how corporate America tripled their riches while we scrambled to feed our families and keep a roof over our heads. It’s time to break up big corporations! The Green Party platform and our Green New Deal seek to build an alternative economic system based on ecology and decentralization of power. We believe private ownership of production and state ownership of production are not ecologically sound, socially just, or democratic and that both contain built-in structures that advance injustices. We seek democratic decision making in communities and workplaces in balance with nature. This decentralized system is knows as co-ops, communalism, or ecological socialism (eco-socialism).

Please join the Ecosocialist Network for this kick ass kick off with California Greens: Cooperation Humboldt co-founder David Cobb, 2016 press director for Stein/Baraka presidential campaign & UC Berkeley PhD candidate Meleiza Figueroa, and David Bond of Los Angeles who was Kenneth Mejia’s campaign manager.  Cobb is an attorney who was the 2004 Green Party candidate for U.S. President.
This is sure to be a riveting panel, with kick ass comedy, to boot, to kick off the series!

RSVP to action@ sunflower-alliance.org by 10 am on Friday, April 9 to receive a Zoom link, along with the agenda and notes about our campaigns.

We are very pleased to announce that Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia will be a special guest at our next meeting, where we’ll discuss late-breaking Just Transition-related news on the county, state and federal levels.

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.

We meet virtually on zoom on the second Wednesday of every month from 6-7:30pm. These meetings are open to the public. The content of our meetings span from trainings, campaign updates, teach-ins, debates, roundtable discussions, etc. Click below to join the meeting or use this link: https://zoom.us/j/96555663590
