THIS IS THE TIME TO SUPPORT AN EAST BAY PUBLIC BANK!

The State Bank is a great start, but it’s one pillar of the new structure. In the East Bay, we’re moving forward with innovative funding sources and we hope to have a MAJOR announcement soon. While talking heads dither, we, the people, must create a new institution to address the systemic problems the pandemic has starkly revealed.

2019 saw the historic passage of state Assembly Bill 857, the Public Banking Act – tthanks to activists all over our state. Together we established the pathway for public banks to be created in California!

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.
