There will be street theater, signs and flyering to alert the public to the bank’s ongoing funding of climate chaos. This is part of a national Stop the Money Pipeline week of action. We have one simple demand for Wells Fargo: stop providing financial services to any corporation expanding its fossil fuel operations. In other words, stop funding the climate crisis. At Wells Fargo’s general meeting last month, a shareholder … Continued 6:00 pm Solidarity with Buffalo @ Oscar Grant Plaza Solidarity with Buffalo @ Oscar Grant Plaza May 18 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Tickets On Saturday, May 14th, a self proclaimed white supremacist drove 200 miles to the predominantly Black town of Buffalo, NY and shot 13 people. 10 died. As Black people in this country continue to experience anti-Blackness via violent white supremacy in the streets and by the state – we must continue to hold, heal, love, fight for and defend one another.

Wade passed 50 years ago, and the Democratic Party is doing nothing effective to stop it. The only shot we have at even partially reversing this and all recent attacks on women’s and LGBTQ rights, is by building a fighting mass movement of protests, direct action, civil disobedience, school and workplace walkouts, and even strikes. Join Socialist Alternative and others for an action assembly to discuss concrete next steps for doing just that. 69762 12:00 pm Anti-Chevron Day @ Gate 14, Chevron Oil Refinery Anti-Chevron Day @ Gate 14, Chevron Oil Refinery May 21 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm Tickets https://www.eventbrite.com/e/anti-chevron-day-tickets-330052785767 69733 1:00 pm Protest Against the War in Ukraine @ Lake Merritt Amphitheater Protest Against the War in Ukraine @ Lake Merritt Amphitheater May 21 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Tickets We demand: – NO escalation from the US – NO Russian aggression in Ukraine – Peace talks instead of arm shipments – Disbandment of NATO The United States is escalating its involvement in the war. The US military is providing logistical support, US leaders are promising unconditional support, and billions of our tax dollars are being sent over in the form of “lethal aid”.

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.
