These workshops are being ran by individuals from native communities who brought forward the Memorandum of Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples that Occupy Oakland agreed to adopt. In order to move forward with this solidarity work this workshop is being held.

What does it mean to acknowledge the United States as a colonial and imperial nation? What is colonialism and imperialism?

What does it mean to acknowledge that Oakland is already occupied land? Who are the Chochenyo Ohlone people?

What does decolonization and deoccupation of the United States and Oakland mean? What can it mean?

Come discuss and learn with each other.

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.
