Event

This fundraiser is a traveling art show raising money to fund the Asylum Seekers: Moria documentary while spreading awareness of the inhumanity surrounding the refugee crisis in Europe. This show will feature artists from all over the world with work focussed around asylum seekers. Pieces of the documentary will be played with Q&A following by the documentarians Anne Di Grazia and Irene Hollebrandse who recently got back to the US after shooting the documentary in one of the worst refugee camps in Greece: Moria. Each art work will be part of a rolling auction sold to the highest bidder at the end of the show tour.

Come look at art, watch some of the documentary and learn about the experience from the filmmakers.

Entrance fee: $10,-

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.
