On August 10, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that her office was filing a series of trumped up charges against these protestors, including felony conspiracy and 38 counts of false imprisonment per person. Warrants have been issued for their rearrests. Protestors are being forced to surrender themselves to the San Francisco … Continued Resource Fair for the Houseless Resource Fair for the Houseless Sep 16 all-day Tickets https://twitter.com/LisTeague/status/183543245534153142677963

It held its sway for almost four decades starting when China allowed G-7 capital to exploit a vast pool of labor power, but unlike in the past when it resulted in failed economics in the Third World, China rose as an economic giant in just three decades, with the Communist Party of China firmly controlling the process. The US workers largely lost good industrial wages … Continued 4:00 pm Occupy Oakland General Assembly @ Oscar Grant Plaza Occupy Oakland General Assembly @ Oscar Grant Plaza Sep 15 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm Tickets NOTE: During the Plague Year of 2020 GA will be held every week or two on Zoom.

More than 100 million people in the U.S. are actively struggling with medical debt. It’s an injustice that’s costing us our livelihoods, economic stability, and, in far too many cases, our lives. As election season ramps up and politicians pay lip service to the issue, we can’t make the mistake of accepting minor concessions and band-aid fixes as solutions. If we want to put an end to medical debt, we need to strike at the root of the problem – our predatory, prrofit-driven healthcare system. That’s … Continued 6:30 pm Oakland Privacy: Fighting Against the Surveillance State @ Online Oakland Privacy: Fighting Against the Surveillance State @ Online Sep 18 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm Tickets Please email contact@oaklandprivacy.org a few days before the meeting to get up-to-date location information or obtain Zoom meeting access info.

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.
