Photos from the Defense Against Hate Crime Prosecutions and Stay Away Orders from OO to UCB Press Conference – April 03, 2012 “The press conference was an overwhelming success. Great statements from Yolanda, Michael Siegel, John Viola, Jesse and Shane. We got the real story out there; city doesn’t care about hate crimes unless there’s political benefit, OPD engages in discriminatory policing, DA is trying to ‘tame’ OO with unconstitutional application of the law.” ~Jaime Omar Yassin .

We emphasize women because women are the masses of the people and are the most oppressed among the 99%. When we organize the women, we also organize the youth because of women’s relationship to the youth. The women and the youth represent at least 75% of the population. Women are the first teachers of both … Continued
Several OO committees, as well as other OWS groups in the Bay Area, are in the midst of organizing actions and events that we are all excited about. We have been looking forward to sharing information and getting feedback from one another, and believe that the GA is the proper space/time to do this. To this end, and because spring and summer are approaching, we propose to have an organized process (Clearing House) for sharing actions on Sunday, April 22nd, 2012 at the GA. Goals: 1) Information sharing brought forward … Continued
