UPDATED:

3/26/12 Answer LA is also doing a march for Trayvon. If you feel compelled to join them I ask you do, bu remember this is not an occupy event, this is not for occupy, it is for support of Trayvon and his family. http://www.facebook.com/events/277407669004499/

Also next sunday here will be another event at the park the 3/25 march ended at. This is also not an OLA event, but is a great opportunity to meet people in the community, hear their struggles, and be an observer. When I get info I will post it. 

Thank you.

Letter Support To Jailed Comrades

Submitted by lizsavage on

I found out through a friend about some arrests up in Oakland I wasn't very familiar with. So tonight I looked up the charges and the case and was disgusted. Three of Occupy Oaklands occupiers were accused of theft, and jailed on $100,000 bond. One is still in and could not be bailed out. Oakland has started a letter wiring campaign to him to keep his spirits up, and I think it would be nice if we joined in.

The Battle for Oakland

Submitted by lizsavage on

I was writing a blog about my experiences in Oakland on J28, and am still having issues presenting the message I would like to. Instead I have decided to share a few videos with you, which show a more truthful picture of what happened that day. It started as a party, and apparently OPD has a problem distingishing between happy protesters, and a riot. We were tear gassed, had flash grenades lobbed at us, and less lethal projectiles shot at us. We were corralled or as they like to say "kettled" with many getting beat up at the YMCA, out of sight of many of the cameras.
