GMO is genetically modified organism, which as far as food goes is predominantly produced my Monsanto. For those too young to know Monsanto started at the beginning of the 1900s as a chemistry company that brought us such wonderful things as now banned and toxic additives to plastics and agent orange.

Depopulation

A poem in protest of the ongoing worldwide population reduction agenda of the ruling global fascist elite kleptocracy… DEPOPULATION by IronBoltBruce )( I thought it was all about money And the power that it buys; But it’s about a depleted planet And with what who survives. It’s simple mathematics, Dividing what by who; They can’t make more resources, But they can make less of you. Forget the genocide of Third World Warlords, U.S. trained; It’s nothing next to body counts For corporations’ gain. Depopulation: Fighting unjust wars Where suicide Takes … 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.
