The owner of the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland has added two free morning screenings of “The Manchurian Candidate” this weekend, citing escalating Russia collusion allegations against President Trump.

Grand Lake owner Allen Michaan has been open about his left-leaning political stances in the past, often expressing them in giant letters on the theater’s marquee — on Thanksgiving he crafted an anti-Trump message that ended “JAIL TO THE CHIEF!!”

Michaan said he set up the screenings, at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 26-27, “in honor of the cascading revelations regarding our treasonous president.”

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.
