How do the Nicaraguan police sustain one of the lowest crime rates, and highest levels of citizen trust, in all of Latin America? A key answer is their much-heralded community-based model. Please join us for this 90-minute webinar, with Spanish – English interpretation, focused on these key topics:

What is the Nicaraguan Community Policing Model?

What special programs and approaches are used to protect women from violence?

What were the experiences and activities of the police during the 2018 coup attempt?

Bring your questions! There will be time to address them, after we hear from:

Commissioner General Jaime Vanegas Vega, Inspector General of the National Police

Commissioner General Vilma Rosa Gonzalez, Head of Public Relations of the National Police

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.
