Can you help us raise £20,000?

It’s alleged that David Hartnett, the government’s top tax man, who loves to be wined and dined, met Goldman Sachs’ top brass in October and with a handshake agreed that the bank would be let off paying £10 million owed to the public purse in interest on an unpaid tax bill.

To challenge this back room deal, UK Uncut Legal Action, with the help of law firm Leigh Day & Co, is threatening legal action against the HMRC unless this dodgy and unfair decision is quashed.

Our fantastic lawyers are taking on the case on a ‘no-win, no-fee’ basis, but if we lose we are likely to have to pay HMRC and Goldman Sach’s legal costs. We don’t know how much it could be but we imagine that it won’t be cheap. Can you help us raise some money? We’re hoping to get 20,000 people to donate £1 each.

So far we’ve raised £9,678. Thank you! If you want to make a donation, click on the Paypal button on the right. Find out more.

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.
