Occupy Oakland 8th Anniversary General Assembly

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly meets every Sunday at 4 PM at Oscar Grant Plaza amphitheater at 14th Street & Broadway near the steps of City Hall. (We meet at 3:00 PM during the cooler months from November to early March during Daylights Savings Time.)

On every ‘last Sunday’ we meet a little earlier at 3 PM to have a community potluck to which all are welcome.

The OO General Assembly has met on a continuous basis for eight years, since October 2011! On October 10th, 2011, Oscar Grant Plaza was Occupied, the beginning of the story of Occupy Oakland, its confrontations, victories and defeats, and the ongoing work of its spinoffs.

Our General Assembly is a participatory gathering of Oakland community members and beyond, where everyone who shows up is treated equally.

We discuss activist events of the past week, note coming events and engage in debate about what is happening locally, nationally and around the globe.

Come, sit and chat, and recall when tents spanned OGP and a community sprang up to help one another.
