As soon as I arrived to the blocked entrance of the Gill Tract I noticed that some occupiers were sad, in silence, and some even in tears. What bothered the most was to see the Police on the other side of the fence mocking when I was taking their pictures. I felt reluctant to photograph them because of their actions; I yelled at them “You’re not funny!” They yelled back at me something as I walked away ignoring them. I had tuned out into a different world, because I was upset that … Continued

I’ve uploaded my photos of Occupy the Farm (Gill Tract), here: http://bapd.org/120422-reclaiming-the-gill-tract.html Click on any of those medium-sized images to go to the page for the individual full-sized image for downloading. The images at the very end are outtakes of the CBS5 video of the 2012-05-14 police raid. The others are photos by me. My photos just before the raid show the seedlings coming along nicely the evening before the raid. Ken Cheetham http://bapd.org/ken.html ken.cheetham@comcast.net 31185

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.
