Connecting Permaculture & Transition. Interview with Karen Schulkin, The San Francisco Seed Library by Willi Paul, PlanetShifter.com Magazine http://planetshifter.com/node/2021 – excerpt – “I love the idea of people coming to the library and choosing seeds (that is always exciting) and the care they take in selection, planting and growing and then the collecting seeds to bring back.

Source Directory #3 by Willi Paul http://communityalchemy.com/3M/3M.pdf “Myth” is a verb, not a noun. It’s an activity. I think myth is hard to pin down but the way that we read our collective history today, the way we understand human culture, myth is at the center. You don’t have human beings and human consciousness without myth-making.” Mythologist Catherine Svehla, Joshua Tree, CA 32034

Goodbye from the Oscar Grant Plaza Gazette

May 19, 2012 at 1:14 am.

Posted by Liberate Oakland

My involvement in the Occupy Movement has largely been in a supportive capacity: I went on late-night postering runs for J28, I took over the Oscar Grant Plaza Gazette when the original editors dropped out and I became heavily involved in the Anti-Repression Committee. Spending so much time promoting Occupy and trying to keep it alive has of course begged the question: what is this thing that I am working so hard to protect? I know what I have wanted Occupy Oakland to be. Months ago, I saw Occupy Oakland … 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.
