The Sheriff Democracy and Diversity Act (SB 271) strikes California’s long-standing law-enforcement requirement for those running for the office of County Sheriff. SB 271 reverses the restrictive 1989 law that added law enforcement experience and California peace officer certification as eligibility requirements. SB 271 has the potential to open the role of County Sheriffs to those with a progressive vision for our criminal-legal and immigration systems. By opening the candidate pool, SB 271 would allow us to begin diversifying the office of county sheriff and re-engage disillusioned community members in these critical yet overlooked local elections.

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.
