Oscar Grant Plaza,  Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm: Help plan and envision the Occupy Oakland Conference that the Events Committee has started working on!

Here’s a working draft of the what the conference may look like:

This August 17th through 19th we hope to host Occupy Oakland’s Long Live the Commune conference at Laney College here in Oakland.

The desire to organize a conference started after the planned J28 Move-In Festival fell apart, the necessity arose when folks at Inter-Occupy started seeking endorsements of “Occupy National Gathering” conference of theirs happening in Philadelphia on June 28th-July 4th. Inter-Occupy is organizing what seems to be a second Constitutional Philadelphia Convention, with two “representatives” from every occupation, and urge that Occupy adopt a new “social contract.” With electoral politics heating up and eager to coopt the energy of Occupy, it’s vital that we push the Occupy movement in a more radical direction.

The purpose of the conference is to provide skills, tactics, strategy, and vision within and across occupations. The Long Live the CommuneConference will explore how nonprofits coopt social movements, the criminalization of pre-crime and radical politics, radical history, and the crisis of capitalism this time, among more.

The Events Committee is responsible for actions, workshops, shows, teach-ins, etc. If you would like to perform or organize any kind of action, you should speak with us.

Here’s a working draft of the what the conference may look like:

This August 17th through 19th we hope to host Occupy Oakland’s Liberate Everything conference at (hopefully) Laney College here in Oakland.

The desire to organize a conference started after the planned J28 Move-In Festival fell apart, the necessity arose when folks at Inter-Occupy started seeking endorsements of “Occupy National Gathering” conference of theirs happening in Philadelphia on June 28th-July 4th.

4pm @ Lakeview Elementary

5pm @ OUSD offices ( 1025 2nd ave.)

This Wednesday is the last OUSD school board meeting until the fall. All year, we have been attending school board meetings to protest school closures, union busting, cuts and privatization, and we have been ignored and silenced. The school board has pushed our agenda items until the end of their discussion, and after hours, we have been permitted just 2 minutes to share our concerns with barely present board members.

We refuse to continue to have our concerns ignored and dismissed! The school board doesn’t represent our communities, so we must represent ourselves. On Wednesday 6/27, the parents, students and teachers of the Lakeview Sit-in are organizing our own hearing – the “People’s School Board Meeting”! We invite all parents, teachers, students and community members to join us to share your vision for Oakland public schools, and speak out against the continuous disrespect Tony Smith and the elected school board members have shown the school communities they are supposed to serve!

More Details.

Planning for the Occupy AC transit BBQ this Saturday, June 30th, at Arroyo Viejo Park from 2-6 will be meeitng at the Lakeview Sit-In this Wednesday, 6/27/12.

Folks who are interested in helping cook or serve food, as well as facilitating discussion and a general grand ole time, are all most welcome.

General Assemblies are held Wednesdays at 6pm (@ Oscar Grant Plaza) and Sundays at 2pm (@ 19th & Telegraph).
