Occupy Oakland - Neuigkeiten zum 27.10.2011 - Generalstreik 02.11.2011

Occupy Oakland wurde gerazzt. Spontandemos bildeten sich, und eroberten den Platz* zurück, und er bleit aktuell wieder besetzt. Oakland Polizei hat in die Menge geschossen mit Gummigeschosse und Blendschockgranaten, und traf Scott Olsen am Kopf. Er kollabierte und Freunde eilten ihm zur Hilfe, ein Polizist warf eine Blendschockgranate auf die Helfer, und in einem zweiten Versuch konnte er aus der Gefahrenzone rausgetragen werden. Dabei stellten seine Freunde fest, dass er aus dem Kopf an mehreren Stellen blutete. Er wurde Demossanis weitergegeben (die Rettungsassistenten waren) und diese haben ihn ins Krankenhaus transportiert, wo er jetzt im künstlichen Koma liegt mit Schädelfraktur.


Occupy Oakland, bei einem Delegiertenplenum mit knapp 1500 Menschen anwesend, rief auf zu einem Generalstreik am 2. November, 2011.

Insane amount of violence in Oakland tonight. Much worse then during Oscar Grant riots. Many are injured. Broken limbs, hands, fingers.

 

Oakland was a war zone. Police attacked women in wheelchairs, children. The protesters have been gassed at least 4 times this evening, and they are using sonic warfare as well as rubber bullets on unarmed civilians now. Thousands of people continuously tried to retake the plaza and regroup but tear gas, concussion grenades, and rubber bullets prevented them from taking over the plaza, at least for now. People were amazing.

 

Atlanta Occupation was evicted few hours ago. Baltimore under attack. This appears to be a coordinated police action. It is not over (Oakland). People are dancing in the street. Police is back with flash bangs. New assembly is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Below is the proposal passed by the Occupy Oakland General Assembly on Wednesday October 26, 2011 in reclaimed Oscar Grant Plaza. 1607 people voted. 1484 voted in favor of the resolution, 77 abstained and 46 voted against it, passing the proposal at 96.9%. The General Assembly operates on a modified consensus process that passes proposals with 90% in favor and with abstaining votes removed from the final count.

PROPOSAL:

We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%.

We propose a city wide general strike and we propose we invite all students to walk out of school. Instead of workers going to work and students going to school, the people will converge on downtown Oakland to shut down the city.

All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them.

While we are calling for a general strike, we are also calling for much more. People who organize out of their neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, affinity groups, workplaces and families are encouraged to self organize in a way that allows them to participate in shutting down the city in whatever manner they are comfortable with and capable of.

The whole world is watching Oakland. Let’s show them what is possible.

The Strike Coordinating Council will begin meeting everyday at 5pm in Oscar Grant Plaza before the daily General Assembly at 7pm. All strike participants are invited. Stay tuned for much more information and see you next Wednesday.

the people will converge on downtown Oakland to shut down the city.

All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them.
