Event

Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of one of the most iconic movies in US history!

On the hottest day of the year on a street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, hate and bigotry smolders and builds until it explodes. Director Spike Lee’s powerful portrait of urban racial tensions sparked controversy while earning popular and critical praise. The film features a stellar ensemble cast that includes Danny Aiello, Ruby Dee, Samuel L. Jackson, Rosie Perez, and John Turturro. We’re celebrating this iconic, provocative film so join us as we explore what has changed, stayed the same or gotten worse regarding race relations in the past 30 years! After movie discussion led by Greg Bridges. This is a KPFA benefit.

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.
