KPFA & Pacifica, a strategic asset for social movements by Daniel Borgström daniel41@trip.net August 27, 2012 KPFA and the Pacifica radio network are a strategic asset for grassroots movements challenging the status quo. It has given Occupy some very good coverage. However, this cannot be taken for granted, because this radio station and network are under attack (from within). There is now an election going on for the KPFA board which could determine the future of this radio station and the Pacifica network. KPFA, at 94.1 FM, is the local … Continued

Solidarity from Occupy Knoxville

February 8, 2012 at 9:25 am.

Posted by jspiers

A letter of support – prepared in our 2/7/1012 GA From Occupy Knoxville To our brothers and sisters in Occupy Oakland Following the tumultuous protests in Oakland on January 26th, Mayor Jean Quan of Oakland has appealed to OWS nationwide to disown Occupy Oakland. We wish to state, in the strongest possible terms, that we have no intention of “disowning” ANY part of this movement. We recognize that, as a leaderless movement, certain individuals within the movement may commit acts which we may disagree with as individuals. No one individual … 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.
