Calendar
*** 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.

Monday, February 27, 2012
Tuesday, February 28, 2012

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!

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.

What to bring
BYOL (laptop)
Everybody is welcome; you do not need to be a hacker to come to the hackathon. Bring ideas, or things you want to learn or teach.
Come by before the OO BBQ at Rainbow Park starts or stop by afterwards.
Check out some of the COOL things folks created at Hackathon I, like the metameme of the Pepper Spray Cop and comparison of mainstream media coverage of Occupy versus tweets about #OWS.
Metameme of Pepper Spray Cop Mosaic
A mosaic image of the Pepper Spraying Cop was created, composed of many tiny remixed Pepper Spraying Cop images.
Mainstream Media Coverage of Occupy vs. Tweets using hashtags #OWS and #Occupy
Comparison of surface area newspapers devoted to Occupy coverage to tweets of #OWS and #Occupy related hashtags over time. Results show that movement-created information distributed via Twitter is a more reliable, grassroots source of information than mainstream media.

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?
OEA SOLIDARITY ACTIONS
Join one or both actions on Wednesday, March 28, 2012.

Dr. Erica Chenoweth will discuss her recent research on dynamics of civil resistance. Based on her global data set of armed and unarmed resistance campaigns from1900 to 2006, and drawing upon both statistical findings as well as case studies from conflicts around the world, Dr. Chenoweth will explore the reasons resistance campaigns succeed and fail.
