Ed Rippy Jr. died Tuesday, November 1st after a long battle with lung cancer. He was a veteran activist, the web master for the Oscar Grant Committee, very involved in Occupy Concord, an excellent writer, active in 9/11 issues & the fight against imperialism, a member of the hackivist collective, the sudoroom, and much, much more.

Sunday at 1PM his friends will gather at Vinnie’s Bar & Grill at 2045 Mount Diablo Street in downtown Concord to celebrate his life and maybe raise a few bucks for his cremation, etc. There will be several great local bands, Blue Moonshine, The Breedloves & Celtic trio Sin Silver, as well as some BBQ, all for only a $5 cover. The event will go on until 8 PM.

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.
