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. We … Continued 5:00 pm STOP FLOCK! NO DATA FOR ICE! – Berkeley STOP FLOCK! NO DATA FOR ICE! – Berkeley Sep 9 @ 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm Tickets STOP FLOCK! NO DATA FOR ICE! Flock’s AI-powered surveillance cameras track anyone in view. Across the country, including in California, data from these cameras has been used by ICE to target immigrants and support mass deportations. Recently, in our neighboring cities of San Francisco and Oakland, police illegally funneled data from these cameras to ICE-– despite being established sanctuary cities since the 1980s. Although Berkeley is also a sanctuary city, our city has not publicly promised to protect our data from ICE or other federal agencies. 78360 5:00 pm Stop the ShotSpotter Contract (Sacramento) – APTP @ Online and in person Stop the ShotSpotter Contract (Sacramento) – APTP @ Online and in person Sep 9 @ 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm Tickets The Sacramento City Council is trying to quietly renew the failed ShotSpotter contract for $2.6 million. It expired in June—saving the city $500,000. Let’s keep it that way. ShotSpotter is discredited and dangerous: 73% of alerts in Sacramento led to no report Just 4% led to arrests Only 8.5% resulted in recovered firearms It has contributed to the deaths of 13-year-old Adam Toledo in Chicago and Kershawn Geyger in Sacramento. This is not public safety. This is State sanctioned violence.

Police chases are deadly and do zero to reduce or solve crime. Every year, these reckless pursuits kill more people than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and lightning combined. Innocent bystanders — meaning people not at all involved with the chase — account for 27 percent of all police chase deaths, or 87 deaths per year. We lift the name of slain Castlemont educator Marvin Boomer who was recently one … Continued		11:00 am Extinction Rebellion: SEPTEMBER OPEN HOUSE FOR NEW ACTIVISTS @ Online Extinction Rebellion: SEPTEMBER OPEN HOUSE FOR NEW ACTIVISTS @ Online Sep 13 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm Tickets The XR US Open House is designed for activists who are new to Extinction Rebellion or to climate activism in general, though we also welcome current members of XR or veteran activists who want to network and share ideas. � On Saturday, September 13, we will provide a short presentation about the climate movement and a more detailed presentation about Non-Violent Direct Action, inviting participants to share ideas for Fall actions.

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.
