How much more can we tolerate? Hundreds of Berkeley residents show up, speak up, and stand up at city council meetings… And still the council votes against the will of the people. Whether it’s the unpopular upzoning ordinance they’re trying to ram through without community input, or other major … Continued 4:00 pm Occupy Oakland General Assembly @ Oscar Grant Plaza Occupy Oakland General Assembly @ Oscar Grant Plaza Dec 14 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm Tickets NOTE: During the Plague Year of 2020 GA will be held every week or two on Zoom.

On Wednesday, with less than 24 hours’ notice, Council President Kevin Jenkins, Councilmembers Rowena Brown, and Janani Ramachandran voted in the Rules Committee to send the FLOCK contract to the full City Council for a vote on December 16. Councilmember Ken Houston even thanked Jenkins for “bringing it back,” making it clear this was a coordinated effort to bypass the democratic process and ignore the people’s will.

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.
