Occupy Oakland needs bail funds!

Click here to donate.

Police Chief Howard Jordan has been quoted in AP saying that almost 400 people were arrested yesterday.

Many people were arrested who need urgent medical attention, people who have been injured by the police, or people who do not have their medication with them to treat prior conditions. We need the money to bail these people out.

Many people who have medical needs were unable to prevent themselves from being arrested, or to retrieve their medication, because the police did not give a dispersal order– they just kettled. We are still gathering names.

Our bail funds have been dwindling significantly as a result of the police backlash against Occupy Oakland in the last month.

If you are able, please donate – 10, 50, 100, whatever you can.

Solidarity Sunday – Wear black fight back

By Staff
Occupy Wall Street

Yesterday, Occupy Oakland moved to convert a vacant building into a community center to provide education, medical, and housing services for the 99%. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbag rounds and mass arrests. The state has compounded its policy of callous indifference with a ruthless display of violent repression.

The Occupy movement will respond, as we have always responded: with an overwhelming show of collective resistance. Today, we take to the streets. Across the country, we will demonstrate our resolve to overcome repression and continue to build a better world grounded in love and solidarity for one another. All eyes on all Occupies.

SOLIDARITY SUNDAY starts at 7 p.m. EST, Sunday, January 29. Check your local Occupation for convergence points.
