Action

This Saturday, May 12th, there will be a march at 3pm from the corner of 90th and Birch in East Oakland and will go to the Eastmont Pol ice Substation at 73rd ave and MacArthur. Alan’s family has called for the march and has asked for a peaceful assembly and march.

Alan was shot in the back by Oakland police last Sunday. The family is asking why the OPD has changed their story of what happened 3 times, why they consider the offer competent after he shot himself in the foot and a young man who posed no threat to the officer as he was running away, and why this same officer is on paid leave.

Supplies to make picket signs will be available at 11am Saturday at Arroyo Park.

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.
