Calendar
We are still a group in progress so don’t be intimidated, its not too late to come check it out!
Email us at Oaklandoccupypatriarchy@gmail.com for the location!
Our beginning forum discussion will be:
Why do you think that we need a seperate organizing space for Women, Trans and Queer people only?
We will also be discussing “point of unity” number two:
Women, Trans people, Queers, Fags, Dykes, need a space that is OURS because we are marginalized, harassed, and attacked in other spaces all the time. We do not all have the same needs and desires, and our relationships with one another are structured by the intensified oppression of people of color, trans people and poor folks. However we think that we can sup- port and increase our power by working with each other.
Hope to see you there!

Help plan Chevron demonstration, community gardens, Earth Day literature
Together with a group of neighborhood organizers and concerned citizens, some folks from the Brooms Collective, Occupy Earth Day, and other committees and working groups of Occupy Oakland are planning to build a community garden from the ground up. We have planning meetings, every Saturday at 12:00 PM, at a lot on 28th and Market Streets. NOTE WE DO NOT HAVE CURRENT CONFIRMATION THIS MEETING IS OCCURRING Every Week FOREVER. –(Web Editor)
Sometimes we even have a BBQ. We will canvass the neighborhood for support, determine the garden’s decision making apparatus, and participate in skill shares. All are welcome to attend. See you there!
Last night, NYPD’s raid on OWS was brutal.
We need an emergency proposal and march after GA in solidarity with our beaten friends in NY.
Let’s take to the street in a show of love and solidarity!
This is an open event! Invite everyone you know!
Rally 5PM, march 6PM
National faith leaders will offer religious sanctuary and protection to those to whom police have issued “stay away” and “non-loitering” orders that prohibit them from being on the plaza. The Service will honor their Constitutional First Amendment rights and challenge police actions against peaceful, lawful protesters. The service is expected to draw people from faith communities and Occupy encampments from across the state of California.
Note: The General Assembly time has been changed to 7:00 PM to accommodate this event.
Committee that helps facilitate the operation of the General Assembly. Meetings every Wednesday at 12pm and Saturday at 4pm.
Work to fight foreclosures and evictions. Meetings are currently on Sunday at 12:30 PM at 19th & Telegraph before the General Assembly. We will have an information table at the 2nd OO Barbeque & Speakout (which will have taken place a day before this meeting).
We need people for lots of roles, including media outreach, leafleting, initial home visits, information gathering, investigation, bank actions, home actions, admin and other stuff.
We’ve helped save Gayla Newsome’s and Miss Katy’s homes. Help us help more people.

Fremont High School at 3:00 PM
OUSD building, Oakland at 4:30 PM
-
“Acceleration TSA”–an idea whose time has come?
- Teachers told they must reapply for their current jobs!
- Or is it another hastily designed OUSD experiment on flatland students of color?
OEA members across the district have varying opinions on the merits of this idea.
BUT WE AGREE THAT:
NO member should accept the unlawful method by which Superintendent Smith unilaterally imposed yet-to-be-described working conditions upon our fellow members.
NO member will question that by refusing to communicate, collaborate, and problem solve with those democratically elected to safeguard our best interests, Superintendent Smith has made it easier to ignore member’s rights in the future. If we fail to answer these divide and conquer techniques that undermine our collective strength, then we fail our bargaining team, and more importantly, we fail our kids.
NO member should suffer the indignity of having to apply for a job already held.
Your OEA bargaining team is preparing for negotiations with the OUSD for a new contract. How will you add strength to their efforts?
