Up until its February 16th meeting, the position of a majority of Oakland City Council members on permitting coal shipment from the city’s port may have been in doubt. Even now the proposal remains on the table. But at that meeting, council members took concrete steps toward banning coal exports once and for all. Thanks to the efforts of Mayor Libby Schaff, local clergy, State Senator Loni Hancock, and community activists, the Council has signaled its … Continued	7:00 am CANCELLED: Justice 4 Richard Perkins – Release the report! @ Coroner's Office CANCELLED: Justice 4 Richard Perkins – Release the report! @ Coroner's Office Mar 11 @ 7:00 am – 10:00 am Tickets THEY RELEASED THE CORONER’S REPORT.

But last week, on the deadline for officially returning state financing for the jail, we were shocked to learn that San Francisco city officials had covertly requested a 180-day extension for their decision, arguing that they may still build the new jail “as proposed”. The jail pushers — the City’s conservative governmental block and their wealthy base — are doing everything they can to cirvumvent the will of San … Continued 8:00 pm Berkeley Copwatch: JOIN US FOR A SHIFT: MASS COPWATCHING Berkeley Copwatch: JOIN US FOR A SHIFT: MASS COPWATCHING Mar 11 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm Tickets JOIN US FOR A SHIFT: MASS COPWATCHING · Friday March 11, 8 PM – 11 PM · Thursday March 17, 5 PM – 7 PM · Saturday March 26, 8 PM – 11 PM Since October 2015, Berkeley Copwatch has been holding “mass copwatch” events that invite folks to join us for a shift.

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.
