Rain location: SF Pizza, 1500 Broadway, Oakland
Austerity and greed have come together to make the sale of the Berkeley Post Office to private concerns imminent.
A mass meeting of our community:
– To update everyone on appeals & legal challenges to Stop the Sale
– To organize for the July 27th Rally in direct defense of our historic Post Office
(Location is near Ace Hardware and 2 blocks from Downtown Berkeley BART)
We need your help to organize! We need your presence at the rally and defense!
Sponsored by Save the Berkeley Post Office & Strike Debt Bay Area (Facebook and Webpage)
Also see the National Save the Post Office website.
Calendar Event For the Rally Itself.
On Tuesday, July 30th the Oakland City Council will vote on whether to approve a $2 million dollar appropriation to implement phase 2 of the systems enhancements and integration of the Domain Awareness Center (DAC). The center will act as a central aggregator for video feeds and real-time data from a number of sources around Oakland with possible components including CCTV feeds, license plate recognition, facial recognition, gait recognition and more, what could possibly go wrong?
Members of Occupy Oakland and others will meet at the Sudoroom Thursday @ 6PM to plan actions to oppose this funding. We will discuss holding a rally for 5PM on the 30th before going in to speak to the city council, & how to reach out to other interested folks and the city at large, and whatever else moves us.
The sudoroom is a hackerspace and creative community that is oriented towards positive social change. Although the address is on Broadway the entrance is on 22nd Street, up some stairs. The venue normally has several events on Thursday evening but the sudoroom’s common area is quite large, so it should be possible to have several meetings at once. However if it seems too crowded, hectic or noisy we can troop across the street to Farley’s where I’ll buy everyone a round or three for the inconvenience.
We are beginning a FACTS and LIES campaign to educate Oakland about the truth of what happened to Alan Blueford and the lies OPD and the DA promulgated and continue to promulgate.
Perhaps you have seen our WANTED posters about town:
We participated in the Rally against police violence: One Year After Anaheim on July 21st.
We are supporting the California prisoners’ hunger strike.
We are discussing how we can aid other families who are victims of police violence.
We are making a difference! We can use all the help we can get! Come join us!

A Rally in Direct Defense of our Post Office!
Our heritage is being auctioned off to privateers, as austerity and Congressional mandates squeeze the US Postal Service to the point of breaking. The same forces that want to privatize Social Security and prisons are now in the process of selling off Post Offices across the United States.
Come help save the Berkeley Post Office and send a message across the United States that our Post Offices – jobs, services, buildings and history – are worth saving!
– Starting at 1:00 pm at 2000 Allston Way (1 block from Berkeley BART), with speakers, music and dance, street theater, public forums, and a Birthday Cake to celebrate the founding of the Post Office in July 1775.
– We need everyone’s help to mount a defense that cannot be ignored.
– National Weekend of Action to save the Post Office, including actions at threatened post offices in the Bronx, New York; Portland, Oregon; Berkeley; Tacoma, Washington; and at the Southern Calif. offices of Rep. Darrell Issa, who’s leading the Congressional effort to dismantle and privatize the Post Office.
Help plan and run this event: Come to the organizing meeting. We need everyone’s help
Sponsored by: Direct Defense Action Team to Save the Berkeley Post Office in coalition with Strike Debt Bay Area.

Our General Assembly is a participatory gathering of Oakland community members and beyond, where everyone who shows up is treated equally and has equal decision-making power. Occupy Oakland’s General Assembly uses a participatory decision-making process appropriately called, “Occupy Oakland’s Collective Decision-Making Process.” Our Assembly and the process we have collectively cultivated strives to reach agreement while building community.
