DESCRIPTION:OAKLAND LGBTQ WILL RALLY TODAY IN FRONT OF COURTHOUSE TO RESPOND TO HATE 
 CRIMES CHARGES\nCommunity Members Respond to Charges of Gay Slurs by Occupy 
 Oakland Protestors\n \nOAKLAND, CA - March 12, 2012 - LGBTQ demonstrators 
 will rally in front of the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse today at noon in 
 response to hate crimes charges leveled at three Occupy Oakland protestors 
 for language based on perceived sexuality. The event, hosted by Oakland 
 Occupy Patriarchy, will demonstrate against the divisive nature of the 
 charges, for which the police have not brought forth any evidence, but have 
 issued a press statement condemning the three in the public eye.\n 
 \nOakland Occupy Patriarchy (OOP) is a working group of women, LGBTQ and 
 allies formed by Occupy Oakland participants, but meets outside of Occupy 
 Oakland. They have organized actions such as a day long occupation of the 
 park and lot at 19th and Telegraph with workshops, activities for children 
 and performances by musicians and poets.\n \nOOP has been highly critical 
 of the charges for hate speech and robbery, and has a direct written 
 response on their website, 
 http://oaklandoccupypatriarchy.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/pigs-are-no-friends-of-ours/. 
  Today's action will feature LGBTQ community members speaking out against 
 the actions of the Oakland Police Department.\n \n###\n \nFor more 
 information, or to schedule an interview with a representative from Oakland 
 Occupy Patriarchy, please email doulauren@gmail.com.\n \n\n
