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.
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.

We are a group of theatre activists and drama therapists comitted to racial justice. We use Theatre of the Oppressed, Playback Theatre, and many drama therapy methods. We are offering a weekly interactive theatre workshop for community members who would like to partake in a space for anti-racist community building, working through dynamics with “isms” within the movement, letting off steam, and practicing embodying our racial justice ideals together.We encourage community members who do or who would like to embody anti-racist/ racial justice oriented ideals. We acknowledge that for white activists, this means practicing having the humility and compassion to continually challenge our assumptions, and distortions, and listen deeply to people of color. This space is for people of color and white people and acknowledges that we live in a world that is racially oppressive. For People of Color, this space can be a place to acknowledge the oppressive systems we are impacted by and how those systems manifest in our interactions with our communities, families, partnerships, and ourselves in the narratives and interactions we have about ourselves, our partners, families, friends, and community.The movement, at its best, can be about embodying racial justice ideals in order to make the change we need. We are inspired by histories of resistance to racial injustice and honor these legacies. Interactive theatre, like drama therapy, Theatre of the Oppressed, and Playback Theatre, are powerful tools to help with this process.

Occupy Cal GA decided – with over 500 votes, 95% of the assembly – to organize a call for a strike and day of action on Tuesday, November 15 in all sectors of higher education. We will strike in opposition to the cuts of public education, university privatization, and the indebting of our generation. We also call for simultaneous solidarity actions in workplaces and k-12 schools.
