A huge, unprecedented strike of academic workers started on November 14th, hitting all ten University of California campuses like a ton of bricks. The 48,000 striking workers perform the majority of the teaching and research at UC, yet the pay and benefits for these workers, members of the United Auto Workers union, is way too low especially for high-cost-of-living areas like Berkeley, California. The UC Regents, who run the university and represent the most powerful business interests in … Continued 4:00 pm Occupy Oakland General Assembly @ Oscar Grant Plaza Occupy Oakland General Assembly @ Oscar Grant Plaza Nov 27 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm Tickets NOTE: During the Plague Year of 2020 GA will be held every week or two on Zoom.

They blame California’s environmental protections, but we know it’s polluter greed sending prices sky high, plain and simple. This Monday will be a day of action (organized by Last Chance Alliance) across the state to enact a windfall profits cap proposal that will be voted in the CA legislature in the week of December 5th.

So many of us resisted the Public Utilities Commission’s proposed attack on rooftop solar that they backed down—a little. But their new proposal would still make it much harder for people who don’t currently have solar to get it. The revised proposal eliminates the planned fee that rooftop solar owners would have to pay for connection to the grid. But new solar owners would still have to pay a $15/month “electrification charge.” And, like the previous proposal, the … Continued 5:00 pm Oakland Privacy Advisory Commission @ Online Oakland Privacy Advisory Commission @ Online Dec 1 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Tickets Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85817209915 Agenda Packet: https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/Privacy-Commission-Agenda-Packet-12-1-22.pdf 4.

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.
