This is a meeting to talk about next steps for OO/Oakland activism. We'd like to start planning some positive direct actions. Our first goal is to facilitate some kind of activist/community meet and greet. We also want to empower people to form autonomous activist groups by providing them with kits, workshops, skillshares, and tools. We're aiming our efforts at the people of Oakland. We know there's been a lot of controversy and conflict within OO, but we hope this will be bigger than OO, and we would like to be focused on action and empowerment, not on politics or bureaucratic problems. Of course, we can't totally dismiss all of the controversy, but this won't be the space or the time for it.

I know other people were meeting in Mosswood Park, and other groups have had goals of doing something similar to this. This may be the perfect time for us to all combine efforts...

This will be our first meeting, but we're hoping to move quickly on any planning we start. Please consider attending, or, if you can't, tell your friends. =)
