We encourage all tenants of private landlords, unhoused people, and public housing residents, to join us in organizing councils. Existing avenues for combating rising rents, slumlord behavior, and evictions are channeled through non-profit organizations. These types of organizations, while a critical resource for tenants, do not necessarily challenge the larger structural dilemma that we face—the subjugation of housing under capitalism. Effectively challenging well-heeled landlords, developers, and state managers depends on … Continued	2:00 pm The War Economy: Poor People’s Campaign Week 3 @ West Steps The War Economy: Poor People’s Campaign Week 3 @ West Steps May 29 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm Tickets THE WAR ECONOMY: MILITARISM & THE PROLIFERATION OF GUN VIOLENCE RSVP http://bit.ly/PPCWeek3 50 years ago, Dr. MLK Jr. started the Poor People’s Campaign to spark a radical revolution of values across the nation.

Billed as a religious revival, this is about mobilizing a blind, obedient, and fervent fascist social base for the Trump/Pence regime. And the tour stop in Berkeley delivers the message that Berkeley – and all who stand up to fascist authority – are in the cross hairs of fascist America.

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.
