DESCRIPTION:Occupy Oakland announces the plan for re-taking the Oscar Grant Plaza by 
 vigil.  The vigil begins at noon on Tuesday, November 29th, 2011.\n\n\nOn 
 Tuesday, November 29th, 2011 at noon, Occupy Oakland will re-take the Oscar 
 Grant a.k.a. Frank Ogawa Plaza in downtown Oakland (14th and Broadway) by a 
 24-hour, 7-days-a-week vigil.  Occupiers hope to create a new wave of 
 Occupation throughout the United States.\n\nBy vigil, Occupiers will 
 continue asserting rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution to 
 assemble, speak,, and petition government for redress of grievances.  The 
 vigil is NOT the product of a bargain with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, nor is 
 it negotiated with law enforcement.\n\nA teepee will remind the public of 
 the former Occupy camp (pictured in its former condition; now a 
 swamp--thanks to Quan) and historic struggles of the Sioux Indians on the 
 Plains of the U.S., homeless workers in Hoovervilles during the Great 
 Depression, the "Bonus March" in Washington D.C. by unpaid and unemployed 
 veterans in 1932, Resurrection City following the assassination of Martin 
 Luther King, the AIDS vigil of 1980s San Francisco, and the redwood 
 occupations of Judi Bari and Running Wolf.\n\nOccupy Oakland continues its 
 occupation because people are still fighting for food, shelter, medical 
 care, school, childcare, and other necessities.  The 1%-ers enjoy 40% of 
 U.S. wealth and 50% of Wall Street stocks and bonds.  The bottom 80% split 
 7% of the former and just 5% of the latter.  The average 35-year-old 99%-er 
 has a net worth less than $3,000.00.  Occupiers ask the public to consider, 
 "How long does it take an unpaid 99%-er to go through $3,000.00 and become 
 homeless?"\n\nOccupy Oakland's vigil declares, "If the 1% won't share 
 voluntarily through a sense of morality and concern for the well-being of 
 all, then through protest and direct action, we will force change!  Occupy 
 the Plaza!  De-colonize the 99%!"\n\nOccupy Oakland will have sign-up 
 sheets starting Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at the Plaza (in front of City Hall), 
 but sign-up is not a pre-requisite.  The Plaza is fully accessible to the 
 differently abled.\n
