After being evicted from frank Ogawa park by Oakland police Occupy Oakland has a new home. Perhaps those in charge will listen, to the 99% whom they are elected to represent. Isn't it time for money to no longer be considered speech in America? Yes, it is as the Occupy Wall Street movement demonstrates.
Demonstrators rip down chain-link fence and set up new base only days after police dismantled another site
Anti-Wall Street protesters took over a vacant lot and adjacent park in downtown Oakland late Saturday and erected a tent camp to replace one torn down by police, setting the stage for a potential showdown.
Protesters marched to the lot and tore down a chain-link fence before pitching tents as a light rain started. Police on the scene did not immediately intervene and the camp later expanded into an adjacent public park.
"Occupy Oakland has a new home at 19th and Telegraph," organizers said in a message to supporters, adding there would be a big "housewarming" party. "Bring tents!"
