“Hands Off!” Day of Action @ Oscar Grant Plaza

Apr 5 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are gutting Social Security, slashing Medicaid, and looting our government to bankroll their latest tax scam—unless we stop them. We’re taking to thee streets to say Hands Off. Join us!

This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.

A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Debt Collective: College For All Workshop @ Online

Tickets

Apr 17 @ 8:00 am – 10:00 am

Canceling student debt is an economic and moral necessity. It would stimulate the economy, create millions of new jobs, and improve countless lives.

But the fight for student debt abolition has never been just about canceling the student debt we’re struggling to pay right now. Student debt abolition means understanding that this debt is unjust, that it shouldn’t exist in the first place, and that we have a collective responsibility to future generations to change the system that creates it. We’re fighting for higher education as a universal, reparative public good – for a system where students flourish and workers are treated with dignity.

Grab a journal and join us for a powerful session of collective visioning and imagination. Through guided visualization, open sharing, and affirmations, we’ll co-create a future of free education for all — because we are the architects of liberation.

About OccupyOakland.org

This website was created in the fall of 2011. Most of it is now moribund, but the Occupy Oakland Calendar, which lists activist events in the East Bay (and occasionally elsewhere) is still maintained, the Search facility works to find earlier posts and keep OO’s history alive, and articles are occasionally still posted to the front page.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly met in-person weekly (with a rare skip) since October 10th, 2011 up until the pandemic, at which point we went to bi-weekly Zoom meetings. We do checkins, go over the activist events of the past meeting interval, and have general discussions on politics and revolution.

For many years, until the pandemic, we put on a Feed the People event monthly at Oscar Grant Plaza, where all were welcome to come and partake of a freshly cooked, savory meal, before our GA.

If you would like to participate while the pandemic is still amidst, send an email to occupyoakland-request@lists.riseup.net. Check the calendar or this text to see if we have resumed in-person meetings.
