No War on Venezuela! 1:00 pm

No War on Venezuela!
Jan 3 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Tickets

Explosions have been reported across Caracas, Venezuela as an apparent U.S. bombing campaign has begun targeting the country. This war is not about drug trafficking, it is not about democracy — it is about stealing Venezuela’s oil and dominating Latin America. It is an outrageous escalation in a campaign of murder in international waters and piracy targeting civilian ships trading with Venezuela. We need to take to the streets and say no to another endless war! The people of this country do not want another war! A U.S. war would … Continued

Demand Accountability in Oakland 3:30 pm

Demand Accountability in Oakland @ Oakland City Hall
Jan 20 @ 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm

Tickets

Oakland’s civilian oversight of the Oakland Police Department is under direct attack, and it is not accidental. Right now, the Oakland Police Officers Association and their astroturf allies, backed by Bay Area tech billionaires, are actively working to dismantle independent oversight of OPD. Even worse, Oakland City Council leadership is allowing it to happen. Unpaid community volunteers on the Oakland Police Commission do the hard, thankless work of holding OPD accountable to the people. Since September 2025, City Council President Kevin Jenkins, at the urging of OPOA President Hu Nguyen, … Continued

STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH MINNESOTA 4:00 pm

STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH MINNESOTA @ Target
Jan 23 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Tickets

In Minneapolis right now, the working people have responded to the atrocities committed in their city by making a plan. This Friday, January 23rd, there will be no business as usual in Minneapolis—no school, no work, no shopping. The call for a general strike has been taken up by many major unions, including the educators. This is the type of bold, coordinated action that unions across the country and right here in San Francisco must strive for.” We stand in unbreakable solidarity with Minnesota, where 3,000 ICE agents are waging … Continued

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.
