All Female Facilitation Team for GA on Sunday Jan 15, 2012

January 14, 2012 at 9:30 pm.

Posted by Facilitation-Committee

The Facilitation Team is initiating a new approach towards greater inclusion and diversity of facilitators. The committee has decided to make it a goal to have each Sunday’s facilitation team represent a specific demographic. Initially, we are focusing on creating teams of Female, Queer, People of Color, and Spanish Speaking facilitators. We hope this may offer a fresh approach to the facilitation of the GA’s and help build community. We also hope that this will encourage more people to step forward and facilitate. This Sunday, January 15th, the facilitation … Continued

Facilitation Working Group Meeting Notes 10/19

October 19, 2011 at 4:58 pm.

Posted by Bruce Paul

The Facilitation Working Group (FWG) will be trying to post our meeting notes daily so there is greater transparency. We meet everyday at noon on the concrete area just north of Oscar Grant Plaza, below the trees. Everyone is welcome. The first 30 minutes are devoted to letting folks NOT in the working group share their suggestions and concerns about the General Assembly (GA) process and structure. After that, we close the meeting to just the working group so we can plan for that day’s GA agenda. That said, EVERYONE … Continued

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.
