Jan 3 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Tickets Explosions have been reported across Caracas, Venezuela as an apparent U.S. bombing campaign has begun targeting the country. This war is not about drug trafficking, it is not about democracy — it is about stealing Venezuela’s oil and dominating Latin America. It is an outrageous escalation in a campaign of murder in international waters and piracy targeting civilian ships trading with Venezuela. We need to take to the streets and say no to another endless war! The people of this country do not want another war! A U.S. war would … Continued 1:30 pm Suds, Snacks, and Socialism: What’s the Deal With Venezuela? @ Starry Plough Suds, Snacks, and Socialism: What’s the Deal With Venezuela? @ Starry Plough Jan 3 @ 1:30 pm – 4:00 pm Tickets Please register in advance at https://bit.ly/SSS-Venezuela to receive your personal link to participate in this event online U.S. government officials have already admitted that CIA forces and other “clandestine” warfare groups have been operating within Venezuela, and the movement of large naval forces to the area signal an intent to invade. The “clandestine” acts of war already constitute aggression, illegal under international law. The blowing up of boats, with the clearly false excuse that they are somehow running drugs to the USA, is a crime. Further military action will be war … Continued 5:00 pm Strike Debt Bay Area Book Group: What’s Left – 3 Paths Through the Planetary Crisis @ Online Strike Debt Bay Area Book Group: What’s Left – 3 Paths Through the Planetary Crisis @ Online Jan 3 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm Tickets Email strike.debt.bay.area@gmail.com a few days beforehand for the online invite.

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.
