We face a significant financial crisis, with projected annual budget deficits ranging from $115 million to nearly $130 million through fiscal year 2029-2030. A major contributor to this unsustainable financial model is the substantial cost of our current approach to public safety. Oakland Police Department (OPD) spending accounts for nearly 50% of the city’s general fund spending, with OPD’s overtime budget alone projected at $33.6 million for FY2025-26 and $38.2 million for FY2026-27.

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.
