About

On Dec. 21st, the Occupy Oakland General Assembly passed a proposal for the establishment of a large social center for Occupy Oakland on Jan. 28th, 2012.

We propose to occupy and hold a large building that will serve the purpose of becoming a social center, convergence center and headquarters of the Occupy Oakland movement on Saturday, January 28th, 2012. The building will have sufficient office space for all of the Occupy Oakland committees and an auditorium large enough to hold Occupy Oakland general assemblies and adequate sleeping space. It will be a vacant building owned either by a bank, a large corporation of the 1% or already public. The occupation of the building will take place in daylight and on a weekend to ensure more safety and aim for maximum participation. The building will be the destination of a mass march, promoted as a “Move-In Day March” starting at Oscar Grant Plaza at 1pm and finishing up in the new building. Together we will enter the space, clean it, set it up and occupy it.

The Move-In Assembly meets at Oscar Grant Plaza Sundays at 12:30pm and Wednesdays at 4:30pm until Jan. 28th.
