They were broad, diverse, international, and powerful. They did not succeed in preventing the 2003 US/UK invasion of Iraq, but they set the stage for future movements and future victories, including stopping US bombing campaigns in Syria and escalation in Iran, parts of the Arab Spring uprisings, and more. By the time the Obama administration came into office in 2008, the movement in the US was … Continued 6:00 pm White Supremacy in American Christianity @ Online White Supremacy in American Christianity @ Online Feb 28 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm Tickets The Oakland Greens present the February 2021 Virtual Townhall With nazis feeling emboldened to come out the closet, it is more important we find ways to accept each other despite our own ideas.

Appropriating, modifying, and sharing a range of less concrete but equally crucial objects, intellectual property “robbers” today traffic in images, music, and software. Although business analysts regard this as a novel problem, supposedly precipitated by the unprecedented importance of “knowledge” as a force of economic production, historians of science and law tell stories of intellectual property theft that predate … Continued	3:00 pm “Call Center Blues”: Cruelity of Deportation Film and Q&A w/ Director Geeta Gandbhir @ Online “Call Center Blues”: Cruelity of Deportation Film and Q&A w/ Director Geeta Gandbhir @ Online Mar 5 @ 3:00 pm – 3:30 pm Tickets Watch film for FREE here: https://vimeo.com/505335690 Register for Q&A w/ director at 3 PM PT here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/call-center-blues-live-qa-with-the-director This year at the 93rd Academy Awards there’s only one film that focuses on immigration: “Call Center Blues”. Directed by an immigrant woman filmmaker, Geeta Gandbhir, it depicts deportees grappling with loss, love and the rebuilding of their lives and community in Tijuana, Mexico. Many times, the stories of those who’ve been detained or deported are framed in a negative way to scare the public. This leads to policies that abandon much of our immigrant … Continued 3:00 pm People’s Park Day of Civic Love @ People's Park People’s Park Day of Civic Love @ People's Park Mar 5 @ 3:00 pm – 8:00 pm Tickets Join us for a day of Civic Love at People’s Park on Friday, March 5, 2021!

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.
