Occupy Oakland General Assembly @ Oscar Grant Plaza
Oct 9 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

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:

occupyoakland-subscribe@lists.riseup.net

 

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.

Oakland Tenants Union monthly meeting @ Madison Park Apartments, community room
Oct 10 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

OTU’s Mission

The Oakland Tenants Union is an organization of housing activists dedicated to protecting tenant rights and interests. OTU does this by working directly with tenants in their struggle with landlords, impacting legislation and public policy about housing, community education, and working with other organizations committed to furthering renters’ rights. The Oakland Tenants Union is open to anyone who shares our core values and who believes that tenants themselves have the primary responsibility to work on their own behalf.

Monthly Meetings

The Oakland Tenants Union meets regularly at 7:00 pm on the second Monday evening of each month. Our monthly meetings are held in the Community Room of the Madison Park Apartments, 100 – 9th Street (at Oak Street, across from the Lake Merritt BART Station). To enter, gently knock on the window of the room to the right of the main entrance to the building. At the meetings, first we focus on general issues affecting renters city-wide and then second we offer advice to renters regarding their individual concerns.

If you have an issue, a question, or need advice about a tenant/landlord issue, please call us at (510) 704-5276. Leave a message with your name and phone number and someone will get back to you.

Sacramento Rally to Defend Rooftop Solar @ West Steps and Lawn, California State Capitol
Oct 11 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Join rooftop solar defenders to tell the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)  to reject the plans of corporate utilities like PG&E to impose high costs on households with rooftop solar panels:  large monthly fees to connect to the grid and much lower payment for electricity they sell back to the grid.

Soon the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is expected to release a new proposal that will determine the fate of rooftop solar from now on. There will then be a 30-day public comment period, followed by a final vote of the five-person commission.

The Solar Rights Alliance, an organization of solar panel installers, says, “We don’t know what the CPUC will propose. We do know that utility lobbyists are still pushing a Solar Tax and deep cuts to the credit for sharing surplus energy with the grid.”

The Solar Rights Alliance is hosting “the biggest pro-solar event yet,” Everyone Under the Sun Rally & Festival at the State Capitol, to remind the CPUC, Governor Newsom, and the media:

  • No Solar Tax or other changes that make rooftop solar unaffordable for everyday people.
  • Keep rooftop solar growing so that more Californians can get it, not fewer.

RSVP

If you can’t make it to the rally, you can sign up here to be alerted when the CPUC releases its next solar rooftop proposal

Public Bank of the East Bay @ Online
Oct 12 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Friends of the Public Bank East Bay is a completely volunteer-run, nonprofit organizing to create and build community support for the first public bank in California’s history! If you’re committed to economic justice and interested in helping us build new financial systems by the people for the people, we look forward to having you join us!

HOW WE OPERATE:

We have five committees working together to create a Public Bank in the East Bay:

  • Advocacy builds relationships with community groups and city governments.

  • Communications assists other committees with content creation and promotion.

  • Fundraising develops our organization’s budget and raises funds for our business plan.

  • Membership brings on new members and volunteers and organizes educational events.

  • Strategy & Planning is responsible for operations and the execution of PBEB’s business plan.

Email us with your interests and we’ll help you find a way to get plugged in!

Public Bank East Bay expects to open by 2023, and will be a transformative institution that keeps our money local, allowing local governments to divest from Wall Street and reinvest its profits back into our community. Public Bank East Bay’s initial loan policies will support affordable housing development, provide support for small businesses (especially for marginalized entrepreneurs), finance the renovation and electrification of existing buildings, and help cities and counties refinance their municipal debt.

Oakland Privacy: Fighting Against the Surveillance State @ online
Oct 19 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Please email contact@oaklandprivacy.org a few days before the meeting to get up-to-date location information or obtain Zoom meeting access info.

Join Oakland Privacy to organize against the surveillance state, police militarization and ICE, and to advocate for surveillance regulation around the Bay and nationwide.

op-logo.2.1We fight against spy drones, facial recognition, tracking equipment, police body camera secrecy, anti-transparency laws and requirements for “backdoors” to cellphones; we oppose “pre-crime” and “thought-crime,” —  to list just a few invasions of our privacy by all levels of Government, and attempts to hide what government officials, employees and agencies are doing.

We draft and push for privacy legislation for City Councils, at the County level, and in Sacramento. We advocate in op-eds and in the streets. We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and believe no one is illegal.

Check out some of what we worked on in 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Oakland Privacy originally came together in 2013 to fight against the Domain Awareness Center, Oakland’s citywide networked mass surveillance hub. OP was instrumental in stopping the DAC from becoming a city-wide spying network.  We helped fight and helped win the fight against Urban Shield.

Our major projects currently include local legislation to regulate state surveillance (we got the strongest surveillance regulation ordinance in the country passed in Oakland!), supporting and opposing state legislation as appropriate, battling mass surveillance in the form of facial recognition and other analytics, mass aerial surveillance, ubiquitous license plate readers, and pushing back against ICE.

On September 12th, 2019 we were presented with a Barlow Award by the Electronic Frontier Foundation for our work, and on March 16th, 2021 s James Madison Freedom of Information Award by the Northern California Society of Professional Journalists.

If you are interested in joining the Oakland Privacy email listserv, coming to a meeting, or have questions, send an email to:

contact@oaklandprivacy.org

“WATCHING YOU WATCHING US”

Oakland Privacy works regionally to defend the right to privacy and enhance public transparency and oversight regarding the use of surveillance techniques and equipment.  Oakland Privacy drove the passage of surveillance regulation and transparency ordinances in Oakland and Berkeley and is kicking off new processes in various municipalities around the Bay.  To help slow down the encroaching police and surveillance state all over the Bay Area, join us at the Omni.

Bay Area Solidarity Rally For Railroad Workers! Defend The Right To Strike! @ Port of Oakland, Shoreline Park
Oct 22 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Defend The Right To Strike!
An Injury To One Is An Injury To All!
Repeal The Anti-labor Railway Labor Act

US railroad workers are continuing to mostly vote against a proposed contract that does nothing to
defend their health and safety condition on he job with long dangerous hours.

Using the Railway Labor Act as a union busting tool which it is, workers are being told they really don’t have the right to strike and have to accept a contract that destroys workers lives and conditions.

Working people and unions need to rally to defend railroad workers and all other unions and working people who are under attack from striking NUHW Healthcare workers, OEA OUSD teachers, UTR WCCSD teachers and all public workers.

We also need to defend Amazon, Starbucks and all worker who are fighting to get organized and have a union. They face union busting billionaires that flagrantly violate weak US labor laws that are not even enforced by Biden & his “union” Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh.

We have to fight the closures of public schools and privatization of public services,
privatization of the Port of Oakland and defend all public services and fight systemic racism.

With 750,000 unionized workers whose contracts expire next year, we need to build a united
working class movement of all unions and working people to back each other up and fight together. Business unionism will not defend working people, our unions and worker rights.

Join us in a solidarity rally for Railroad workers and their right to strike and all
workers in this country and around the world.

Free Mumia Abu-Jamal! @ Federal Bldg
Oct 26 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

After more than four decades, 14 000 days, spent far away from his family, the case of Mumia ABU-JAMAL will be heard in the Philadelphia, PA Court of Common Pleas. The same court system that had sentenced him to die by lethal injection, then to death by incarceration. The evidence that has now come to light — but was long kept in the dark by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office — should enable his release !

Free Mumia Abu-Jamal is the cry heard around the world for 40 years. It will reverberate in Philadelphia on Oct. 19. Here in the Bay Area we are calling for freedom for Mumia. Please join us.

 

Initiated by The Labor Action Committee to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal

Stop Corporate Pollution of Oakland Politics @ Oscar Grant Plaza
Oct 27 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Fossil fuel companies not only pollute national and state elections, they are polluting local races as well, like the Oakland mayor’s race. Five candidates for mayor have signed a pledge opposing a coal export terminal in Oakland. But one candidate, Ignacio de la Fuente, who is on record supporting the terminal, has accepted a staggering $600,000 from the coal terminal developers.

Join 350 East Bay along with No Coal in Oakland, Youth vs. Apocalypse, the Sierra Club, West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, Baykeeper, and more allies to expose this outrageous attempt to buy the Oakland mayor’s race. Come to the rally and press conference to oppose toxic pollution of our local election.

Speakers: Ms. Margaret Gordon, No Coal in Oakland and West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project; Igor Tregub, Sierra Club; Julia Dowell, SF Baykeeper; Georgia Wallace, Marlay’ja, Youth vs. Apocalypse; and representatives from 350 Bay Area, Communities for a Better Environment, and Service Employees International Union, Local 1021

For clean air and clean elections,

Your 350 East Bay Team

PS You’re also invited to the Climate & Public Health Summit on November 18th.

PPS Our monthly 350 East Bay meeting is happening Saturday, November 19th at 10:30am on zoom. RSVP here to join us to talk about what SF and Bay Area activists are working on now.

Oscar Grant Committee Meeting @ Zoom Meeting
Nov 7 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Because of the COVID pandemic we will be meeting virtually via Zoom on the first Monday of the month.

Meeting ID: 828 0976 4186

If you wish to get the password please subscribe to the Oscar Grant Committee mailing list by sending an email to:

The Oscar Grant Committee Against Police Brutality & State Repression (OGC) is a grassroots democratic organization that was formed as a conscious united front for justice against police brutality. The OGC is involved in the struggle for police accountability and is committed to stopping police brutality.

In alliance with the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) we organized the October 23, 2010 labor and community rally for Justice for Oscar Grant. On that day the ILWU shut down the Bay Area ports in solidarity. Our mission is to educate, organize and mobilize people against police and state repression. Sisters and brothers! The Oscar Grant Committee invites you to join us in this vital struggle.

We meet on the 1st Monday of each month

Public Bank of the East Bay @ Online
Nov 9 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Friends of the Public Bank East Bay is a completely volunteer-run, nonprofit organizing to create and build community support for the first public bank in California’s history! If you’re committed to economic justice and interested in helping us build new financial systems by the people for the people, we look forward to having you join us!

HOW WE OPERATE:

We have five committees working together to create a Public Bank in the East Bay:

  • Advocacy builds relationships with community groups and city governments.

  • Communications assists other committees with content creation and promotion.

  • Fundraising develops our organization’s budget and raises funds for our business plan.

  • Membership brings on new members and volunteers and organizes educational events.

  • Strategy & Planning is responsible for operations and the execution of PBEB’s business plan.

Email us with your interests and we’ll help you find a way to get plugged in!

Public Bank East Bay expects to open by 2023, and will be a transformative institution that keeps our money local, allowing local governments to divest from Wall Street and reinvest its profits back into our community. Public Bank East Bay’s initial loan policies will support affordable housing development, provide support for small businesses (especially for marginalized entrepreneurs), finance the renovation and electrification of existing buildings, and help cities and counties refinance their municipal debt.

Youth Climate March and Movement Celebration @ Embarcadero Plaza
Nov 10 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

 
Where: Meet at � Embarcadero Plaza, San Francisco

Youth Vs. Apocalypse is hosting a Bay Area Action in San Francisco as part of the Global Climate Strike on November 10, 2022. This is the youth’s response to failed negotiations and 27 years of delay on substantial climate action by world leaders. The gathering will demonstrate that youth leaders CAN can hep us be the change we want to see in the world, regardless of the outcomes of the negotiations at COP27.

We are coming together to confront the systems that sacrifice our lives for a profit, including climate-destroying fossil fuel companies and those who profit from and promote militarism and war. Youth are gathering to show that they are not disposable and that young people and the planet must be protected from all forms of violence. Adult allies are invited to attend and march behind the youth leaders.
