Zipporah Collins
Location Details:
Laney College, Oakland, near Lake Merritt BART station; march to Federal Building and then to Frank Ogawa Plaza, at 12th Street BART station for rally

Take to the streets! Come to Laney College in Oakland to demand jobs, workers’ rights, education funding, military cuts, environmental protection, Medicare for all, Social Security protection, fair share taxes on the rich, and corporate money out of politics. Endorsed by MoveOn, Bay Area labor councils, and community groups. Peaceful, family-friendly march to the Federal Building and Ogawa Plaza. Music and spoken word performances. We’ll symbolically nail a list of demands to Congress's door (we’ll supply the door). http://www.jobs-not-cuts.org.

The description of this event on the occupyoakland.org calendar says that the mayors of Oakland, Richmond and Berkeley will be speaking. Has the General Assembly approved this? I think there should be a discussion among the occupiers about whether elected officials are welcome in Oscar Grant Plaza before they decide to invite themselves. Maybe that could be on the agenda for tonight's assembly?

IF those Democratic Mayors do speak they shouldn't be allowed to get away with vague Progressive platitudes . People should ask if they are demanding a end not only to all Home foreclosures but evictions of renters . Also do they supporting the Unionization of Bank workers ?
(The US is the only country in the advanced Capitalist world that doesn't have a Bank workers Union )
And are they for bringing ALL the troops, Mercs, etc Home ?
