This is an expected route of all neo-colonial countries dependent on imperialism. A new section of capitalists is using the NATO Gladio criminals to implement a narco-state to keep the economy alive in Turkiye. Privatization and marketization of every aspect of life have come to a total failure. Unprecedented Corruption at every level, bribery, theft, eco-destruction, gang rule, and the rise of deadly attacks, especially on women, shows the limits of a market economy … Continued 4:00 pm Decolonization Reading Group: The Wretched of the Earth @ Omni Commons Decolonization Reading Group: The Wretched of the Earth @ Omni Commons Feb 19 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm Tickets https://twitter.com/comlibprograms/status/162702469748033126574607	7:00 pm SuDo Room: Women and Nonbinary Coding Nights SuDo Room: Women and Nonbinary Coding Nights Feb 20 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm Tickets https://twitter.com/sudoroom/status/162462931901127884874589		5:00 pm Biometrics Regulation: Global State of Play @ Online Biometrics Regulation: Global State of Play @ Online Feb 22 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Tickets Agenda \| Resources \| Registration As part of BCLT’s newly launched project on biometrics, we will be hosting a virtual symposium on February 22 and 23, 2023 titled ‘Biometrics Regulation: Global State-of-Play’.

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.
