This is a meeting for people who self-identify as people of color/ queer people of color. We meet with the goal of strengthening our participation in the Occupy movement here in Oakland and beyond, and to likewise strengthen the Occupy movement by situating it in the context of our local, living communities and the ongoing work being done by those communities.
Our meeting location sometimes changes based on the availability of spaces. Please contact us at peopleofcolor@occupyoakland.org for up-to-date information. Please also be patient (and persistent) if we don’t respond as quickly as we would like to. We’re growing and evolving our capacities!

Oakland’s Grand Lake Theater announced today that it will hold a special benefit film night for Occupy Oakland on December 13. This is the first time that a local business has hosted a major fundraiser for the Occupy Oakland movement.
The movie “V for Vendetta” will be shown at 7:35 p.m. and 10:00 p.m on Tuesday, December 13. The film is a 2006 sci-fi thriller depicting freedom fighters battling a totalitarian state. There will be free popcorn and the organ will be played before this special benefit event. All ticket proceeds will be given to Occupy Oakland.
“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.

Occupy Oakland is a resurrection movement, and it has once again risen from the dead after the police raid early Monday morning! Join us Wednesday for our weekly “Liberation Bible Study” at Oscar Grant/Frank Ogawa Plaza. just prior to General Assembly, which begins at 6.
We are excited to announce that this week, the Bible study will be led by Gerald O. West, a visiting South African liberation worker and Bible scholar who was active as a white man in the anti-Apartheid movement and now teaches at the Ujaama Center.
In these Bible studies, we read scripture together for guidance in how to decolonize our minds and spirits in the context of the Occupy (to Decolonize) Oakland movement. Join us every Wednesday or whenever you can.
We will meet at the entrance to the plaza just north of Tully’s at 14th and Broadway. Look for the circle of people with a stack of Bibles in the middle.
Meets Monday Wednesday, Friday and Sundays at 6.
