Event

In partnership with the Wellstone Club: a viewing of Abortion and Women’s Rights 1970. This film serves as a powerful reminder of the conditionsand demands that inspired the movement for abortion rights fifty years ago, and speaks to the need for safe, legal abortion and the broader fight for reproductive justice today.

Abortion and Women’s Rights 1970
- Directed by Catha Maslow, Jane Pincus, Mary Summers, and Karen Weinstein
Sunday, March 24 at 7:00 PM
On Zoom
Introductions by Kate Harrison and Karen Weinstein

Karen Weinstein made this film with three other activists over 50 years ago and would have hoped that it would be irrelevant today. But it isn’t. They made this film when most of the legislators were male, and there were few women’s voices being heard. They wanted those voices to be heard.

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.
