What does it mean to acknowledge the United States as a colonial and imperial nation? What is colonialism and imperialism?
 
What does it mean to acknowledge that Oakland is already occupied land? Who are the Chochenyo Ohlone people?
 
What does decolonization and deoccupation of the United States and Oakland mean? What can it mean?
 
Come discuss and learn with each other.
