CANCELLED

In March of 2018, Berkeley became the 2nd municipality in California to pass a sweeping surveillance transparency ordinance. In October of 2019, Berkeley has become the first city to serially violate this new law – over and over and over again. Join Oakland Privacy, SEIU, and others at a press conference and rally to lay out the long series of failures and demand an end to them. Between biometric time clocks for employees, Homeland Security spying on protests, advanced analytics in parks, and mission creep on license plate readers, the City has shown reckless disregard for transparency and consent and it needs to stop.

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.
