City of Oakland Notice and Demand to Occupy Oakland to Cease Violations, Fri, Oct 21, 4 pm
After allowing the occupation of Oscar Grant Plaza for twelve days, the City of Oakland now threatens occupiers with arrest. Presumably city council member Desley Brooks will have to remove her tent as well or risk seizure by the city. Here's the notice:

Last Saturday 10/15 Moveon and the Wellstone Democratic Club organized a march that was supposed to be in Soldarity with Occupy Oakland . They were very upset when the Occupy Oakland General Assembly decided that any Democratic party elected officials wouldn't be given special treatment , if they wanted to speak at the camp they had to line up like everybody else and given the same 3 minute Max time limit . Moveon and the WDC refused those conditions saying it was 'disrespectful 'to such progressive officials who after all are '' 100% with us '' !
OK so where are these friends now ? Mayor Quan 's adm. has given this order to vacate . Any night hundreds of cops may descend and arrest and injure many people .
With ''friends ''like these !
