The Lobby for War and Apartheid in Oakland!

On Tuesday, December 6th ACCE, Occupy Oakland, Labor, Community Groups and families facing foreclosure are coming together once again to continue our call for stopping Foreclosures and Making Banks Pay! Please join us in this National Day of Action called by Occupy Wall St.
Here’s a partial list of the “Occupy Our Homes” events happening next Tuesday:
9:30am: ACCE & The Home Defender’s will be meeting @ Snow Park (20th & Harrison by the Lake) for a “Speak out on Foreclosures” to stop the sale of homes prior to the Holiday Season!
2pm: Causa Justa::Just Cause and Occupy the Hood will be rallying and marching from West Oakland BART to demand the Banks work with an Oakland Family to put them back in their home.
4pm: Occupy Oakland, ACCE and allies will be meeting @ Defremery Park on 16th & Adeline St. in West Oakland to support families who plan to Reclaim their Homes and fight back against the attack on working families across the country!
The national Occupy Our Homes campaign challenges a deliberate Wall Street strategy that has made billions for those at the top while devastating the 99%:
Banks created a housing bubble, deliberately designing predatory loans with balloon payments, variable rates, and other features that would yield short-term profits while preying on families least able to pay.
They knew that many of these loans could not be repaid, but they didn’t care because they planned to package and re-sell the mortgages to investors who then were left holding the bag.
The economy crashed as a result of this bank-created house of cards, putting tens of millions of Americans out of work. Unemployment is overwhelmingly the primary cause of foreclosures, not over-extended consumers.
If you have ANY questions, please feel free to email us or hadasalterman@gmail.com from the Occupy Oakland Housing Network.
“Record Occupy Oakland” will encourage all comers to write their personal experience and their personal observations. We’ll read and review essays, poems, stories, memoirs, plays, speeches, and help make them vivid and powerful. And we will be a connecting house to places where a record can be published. We can also entertain the idea of building a SLAM team. Bring paper and pens that work, or laptops, to the workshop.
North Side, Oscar Grant Plaza
Indigenous Solidarity Planning Meeting and Teach-Ins will explore some of the questions raised at the “Occupy Oakland” General Assembly on October 28 when the Memorandum of Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples passed by a 97% voting majority. It will also examine subsequent discussions about a proposed name change of Occupy Oakland to Decolonize/Liberate Oakland as well as the politics of another effort to establish a teepee at OGP to honor “historic struggles of the Sioux Indians on the Plains of the U.S…. and the redwood occupations of Judi Bari and Running Wolf.”
§ What does it mean to acknowledge the United States as a colonial and imperial power? What is colonialism and imperialism?
§ What does it mean to respect and honor that Oakland is already occupied land? Who are the Chochenyo Ohlone people?
§ What does decolonization of the United States and Oakland mean? What can it mean?
What are the larger goals of Occupy Oakland and how do those goals speak to histories and realities of colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism?
§ Does the name change align with the large political and economic goals of Occupy Oakland?
§ Does the name change effectively communicate these goals to a broader base of people than the word “occupy”?
§ What actions or events would speak to a decolonial movement and communicate that to folks in and outside Occupy Oakland?
Occupy Oakland calls for a coordinated port shut down in solidarity with Longshoremen Against EGT and Port Workers and Occupy L.A. Against Goldman Sachs
