END SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

June is Torture Awareness Month.
Torture Awareness Month is recognized around the world. On June 26, 1987, the Convention Against Torture (CAT) and other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment was adopted. The UN declared June 26 “International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.”

More than 80,000 people in U.S. are caged in tiny cells for 23 or more hours every day, often for years and decades on end.

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.
