Join us for East Bay DSA’s October non-voting General Meeting!
Where: Zoom — RSVP for the link
This month, we’ll have a chapter-wide discussion on the question of what socialists should do about the election in November. With a chaotic election looming and the threat of a second Trump term, how should democratic socialists respond? How can we navigate the uncertain political terrain ahead and bring our supporters and the working class into motion to fight for a democratic socialist future? How can we make the most of this moment and recruit newly-politicized workers to DSA? Together, we’ll assess our current political moment and get organized to respond as a chapter in November.
Agenda is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Azr3tFPXkHfhA2VHse9K0zeW1OWeu6dtB6gnb1tSsK0/edit?usp=sharing
The meeting will be conducted via Zoom. RSVP below and you’ll receive an email with the link.

NOTE: During the Plague Year of 2020 GA will be held every week or two on Zoom. To find out the exact time a date get on the Occupy Oakland email list my sending an email to:

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.

You belong at IIW this Fall! You’ll acquire the real-time pulse of genuinely disruptive technologies that are the foundation of today’s important Internet movements.
Every IIW moves topics, code, and projects downfield. Name an identity topic and it’s likely that more substantial discussion and work has been done at IIW than any other conference!
IIW XXXI will be our second online event. While we miss being with everyone in person, we have found that the online event isn’t just an acceptable substitute, but a real workshop in its own right with considerable advantages. Being virtual will allow many more people from around the world to participate in the important discussions that happen at each IIW.
“From my perspective, IIW is the seminal conference for the digital identity space. The feedback & technical insight garnered here is so invaluable for my company that we build our internal product roadmap around the twice-yearly conference. I was admittedly skeptical about the event going fully virtual, but the organizers managed the transition with little to no loss in collaborative nature or connections. I was very pleased with the value and turnout, and am already looking forward to the next one!”
Karyl Fowler | CEO | transmute industries
How It Works
IIW is at its heart a participatory conference, it is an Open Space unConference. It has no keynotes or panels, so it’s about getting stuff done!
Our schedule will be much the same as the online event in April, with some additional session times. The agenda will be created live each day by attendees present at the opening circle (the same as when we meet F2F in Mountain View).
Through dozens of sessions,you’ll have plenty of chances to present your ideas, engage in challenging dialog, and make new professional connections. The Open Space unConference format is perfect for a rapidly moving field where the organizing team cannot what needs to be discussed. We know great people will be at IIW XXXI. The attendees who have a passion for learning and contributing to the event makes it the success it is.
This is the time and place that you get to discuss, share your knowledge, work on and learn about anything & everything related to Internet Identity today. You can find Books of Proceedings for all previous IIW Events here.
Why You Should Participate
This is the time and place that you get to discuss, share your knowledge, work on and learn about anything & everything related to Internet Identity TODAY.

- Use Managed Accesss (UMA)
- Self-Sovereign and Blockchain Based Identity
- Verifiable Credentials and DIDs
- Credential Ecosystems
- Identity Fraud
- OAuth
- OpenID Connect
- Token Binding
- Personal API’s & Domain of One’s Own
- Personal Sovereignty
- International Perspectives
- Biometrics
- Identity Proofing
- Identity Verification for Internet Payments
- Identity and Privacy in Healthcare
- API of the W3C
- Cryptographic Credentials
- Efforts to “Reboot the Web of Trust”
- Multisignal Authentication
- Authentication of US Government Employees
- Authentication in the Enterprise/Extended Enterprise
- Identity in the Context of Mobile Device Managment
- IoT (The Internet of Things)
- VRM (Vendor Relationship Management)
- Data Liberation and Portability
- Earned (rather than coerced) Customer Loyalty ~ CRM
- Privacy in the Age of Surveillance
See the growing list of potential topics put forth by those who have already registered for IIWXXXI.
“IIW XXX completely changed my mind about ‘virtual conferences’. I was quite skeptical that it could be even remotely as effective as the in-person IIW events—of which I’ve never missed a single one. But IIW XXX not only captured most of the same interactions, it actually proved to be MORE INTENSE than the in-person event because there are multiple channels alive at the same time—the Zoom Rooms, the Zoom chat, and then the Garden rooms and side channels that form and keep going throughout the event. Plus being virtual meant many more people around the world could attend. In fact, it was so engaging that I left the event feeling that at least one of every two IIWs should be virtual now.”

The proposed “Encampment Management Policy” uses people’s lack of housing to deny basic human rights like water, sanitation, health services, garbage pickup and will criminalize folks trying to survive in 95% of Oakland! #STOPEMP #HousingIsAHumanRight #AbolishThePolice

Right now the most vulnerable individuals are being exploited on a massive scale and it will only get worse if we don’t take action now. But can we as average citizens really make a difference to help them? The answer is YES. In Direct Action Everywhere’s workshop, you will learn the history of social movements, the ground-breaking new research that shows the power of ordinary people, and the bold plan to nonviolently abolish the most harmful industry on earth that kills billions of animals every year.

We’re looking forward to getting together with you for a regular meeting. We’ll discuss the latest developments in our fight to keep new oil and gas wells out of eastern Contra Costa County and ban new fossil fuel development in the county. Plus we’ll catch up on campaigns against coal exports in Richmond and Oakland, just transition, regional climate planning, and more — and check in with each other. We need your participation and your voice!
