Its debased condition is a prisoner of its form: that of a commodity, forever cheapening, like any other. Bereft of political leadership, labor instinctively reacts in populist protest at its own demise, rejecting neoliberalism and the “new world order”. In response, the ruling class shames it as “deplorable”, “far-right”, and “Putin’s puppets”. In a world devoid of class identity, American culture proffers individual identity as the new religion, as the new “sigh of the oppressed … Continued 12:00 pm Doclands: SHAKING IT UP: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LIZ CARPENTER @ SMITH RAFAEL FILM CENTER Doclands: SHAKING IT UP: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LIZ CARPENTER @ SMITH RAFAEL FILM CENTER May 5 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm Tickets WONDERLANDS \| CALIFORNIA PREMIERE ► VIEW TRAILER Directors ABBY GINZBERG, CHRISTY CARPENTER (US 2024) 78 min Pioneering Texan journalist and influential feminist leader Liz Carpenter takes center stage in this documentary co-directed by her daughter Christy Carpenter and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Abby Ginzberg.

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.
