Frank H. Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, CA 94612
USA
As a mass action on Saturday, December 10th, we will take the movement to the people and do the “Kittens Action” (named so because kittens–unlike sheep–are not herd animals; they can’t be herded or corralled).
12:00 pm- 4:00 pm: We will converge at Oscar Grant Plaza at 12 pm, form teams or affinity groups of say 2-5 people, do mini-trainings and share materials–surveys, flyers, posters, chalk, scripts, etc.–choose neighborhoods, and then fan out around the city, to engage the community in thinking and talking together about the realities we share and the future we want and the movement we’re building.
4:00 pm- Evening: We will re-converge at the Plaza at 4 pm to share our stories and insights, and to hold a celebration rally.
Note: Affinity groups and teams are autonomous in what materials they want to use, but collectively we will especially focus on 2 things:
1) Getting the word out about the West Coast Port shutdown and
2) Getting feedback from the people of Oakland about how the Occupy movement can be stronger and more inclusive for them.
For the second purpose we will use a simple survey with the following questions:
• What do you think about the Occupy movement?
• Have you been involved in any Occupy-related events or activities?
• How can it be more effective or inclusive?
• What would you like to do to contribute to a stronger movement?
