We are powerful, we feed each other!

Despite the horrendous police abuse and repression on the 28th the kitchen managed to provide a loving space to its community this weekend. From what it appears we fed over a thousand people during the two days, sat 28th and sun 29th. I cant stress enough how important it is to provide these comforts, particularly when we are confronted with such fascist police who attempt to break our spirits by beating and gassing us. We thank the cooks, people who donated food (a big shout out to Arizmendi and Everett and Jones BBQ) the servers, and other helpers for working so hard, and providing for their community with such passion! To get involved please contact kitchen@occupyoakland.com.

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.
