Many of the free testing sites that once served our neighborhoods have closed, and store-bought tests are unaffordable or unavailable for many. In response, the Anti Police-Terror Project and The People’s House are stepping up to meet the need. We believe public health is a collective responsibility, and we remain committed to providing tools that help keep our communities safe and resourced.

It is an attempt to subvert whatever democratic rights we have, amplify the racism that already exists, persecute and expel our fellow workers who may not have the appropriate documents (and many who do) and make young people a lot more ignorant and anyone with a uterus a lot more pregnant. Our speakers will describe various … Continued	6:30 pm Learn about the proposed “Encampment Abatement Policy” – and make your voice heard! @ Online Learn about the proposed “Encampment Abatement Policy” – and make your voice heard! @ Online Sep 3 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm Tickets We hope you can join us – bring your friends and neighbors! Register here for the zoom link. In 2020, Oakland City Council passed the “Encampment Management Policy” (EMP), authored by CM Loren Taylor. This legislation did not create one single additional shelter bed, much less any interim housing or pipeline towards permanent housing for our houseless neighbors. Because the EMP did nothing to address the issue of people not being able to afford housing or access shelter, it was, in practice, completely unenforceable. While the City created an Encampment Management Team and ramped … Continued	5:00 pm Oakland Privacy Advisory Commission @ Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 1 Oakland Privacy Advisory Commission @ Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 1 Sep 4 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Tickets To observe and participate in the meeting via Zoom, go to: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85817209915 Agenda Items: 4.

All are welcome! For our September, 2025 meeting we will be reading Elinor Ostrom’s Rules for Radicals: Cooperative Alternatives Beyond Markets and States. (Amazon) (Pluto). Elinor Ostrom was both a groundbreaking thinker and one of the foremost economists of our age. The first and only woman to win the Nobel Prize for Economics, her revolutionary theorizing of the commons opened the way for non-capitalist economic alternatives on a massive scale.

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.
