Another Push Needed to Save Solar, Now 11:00 am

Another Push Needed to Save Solar, Now
Jun 2 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Tickets

When the California Public Utilities Commission came out with a plan in December to make installing rooftop solar unaffordable, our huge outcry forced them to back down. But their new proposal is pretty much the same, so we need to do it again (sigh). Details on the old and new plans are here. The plan would continue to impose a “solar tax” on customers with rooftop solar and slash the payments they get for electricity they generate — this time described in slightly different language and with a more gradual implementation … Continued

Photo Action in Oakland 12 minute walk from 12th St/Oakland BART station June 14 is the day for coordinated photo stunts at fossil fuel infrastructure across California to challenge the narrative that high gas prices mean we need to drill for more oil. Actions are happening to communicate all the ways that Californians pay for big oil’s profits: at the gas pump, at the emergency room and with our very future. We call on Governor Newsom to stand up to big oil’s greed, stop permitting new fossil fuels, and end … Continued

Stand Up for #OurClimateFuture 9:00 am

Stand Up for #OurClimateFuture @ Ca Air Resources Board
Jun 23 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) released its draft 2022 Scoping Plan, a blueprint for California’s climate policy for the next 20 years. The draft plan is a huge step backward for California, doubling down on fossil fuel infrastructure when we need to be phasing out fossil fuels. CARB are planning for a massive expansion of dirty gas-fired power plants and paving the way for billions in public subsidies for risky, ineffective carbon capture and storage machinery that extends the life of oil refineries.

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.
