Occupy the hood
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!
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!

OO Labor Solidarity Meeting – OGP at 6:00 PM
The Occupy movement has embraced the 99% in this country who are suffering under the policies, institutions, and acts of the 1%.
But what does the 99% say about wars? Especially with yet another threatened war, this time on Iran.
We invite you, the 99%, to join an Action Assembly on Saturday, March 3rd, 2012, at the La Pena Cultural Center on 3105 Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley. This event is hosted by Code Pink and WAK (Women Against Killing).
*** This event is being called by the Occupy Oakland Tactical Action Committee. It will continue weekly. ***
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you identify as peaceful and are likely to interfere with the actions of your fellow protestors in any way (including telling them to stop performing a particular action, grappling, assaulting or holding them for arrest), you may not want to attend this march. It is a militant action. It attracts anti-capitalists, anti-fascists and other comrades of a revolutionary bent. It is not a march intended for people who are not fully comfortable with diversity of tactics.
***
The Oakland Police Department has harassed and brutalized Occupy Oakland and participants in the vigil. Camps and liberated foreclosed buildings have been raided and shut down. OOers at the vigil have been arrested for as little as standing nearby when the police decide to raid, all the way up to the ridiculous charge of lynching. People have been physically assaulted by those supposed to protect and serve, but only do so in the interests of the 1%.
With dozens of our comrades having been arrested in the past couple of weeks, and culminating in the city’s revocation of the vigil’s permit and the immediate threat of another police raid to clear the plaza, the time has come to rise up and let them know what we think of them and that we will no longer meekly accept their violations of our civil and human rights.
This event will be held weekly. Spread the word, send the invite, join us as we march in solidarity against police repression.
Wear black
Rally at 7:00 pm
March on OPD HQ at 9:00 pm

Also, Khali will need our support on Wednesday, March 7th, at 9:00 AM in Department 704 at the Gale-Schenone Hall of Justice in Pleasanton. Khali was picked up on minor charges during the December 16th raid of the plaza. After four days of incarceration during which his mental health medication was witheld, Khali was charged with a violent felony inside Santa Rita Jail. The baseless misdemeanors with which he was originally charged have thus morphed into a felony that could lead to a long prison term. Free Khali!
