This event is being called by the Occupy Oakland Tactical Action Committee. It will continue weekly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you identify as peaceful and are likely to interfere with the actions of your fellow protestors in any way (including telling them to stop performing a particular action, grappling, assaulting or holding them for arrest), you may not want to attend this march. It is a militant action. It attracts anti-capitalists, anti-fascists and other comrades of a revolutionary bent. It is not a march intended for people who are not fully comfortable with diversity of tactics.


The Oakland Police Department has harassed and brutalized Occupy Oakland and participants in the vigil. Camps and liberated foreclosed buildings have been raided and shut down. OOers at the vigil have been arrested for as little as standing nearby when the police decide to raid, all the way up to the ridiculous charge of lynching. People have been physically assaulted by those supposed to protect and serve, but only do so in the interests of the 1%.

With dozens of our comrades having been arrested in the past couple of weeks, and culminating in the city’s revocation of the vigil’s permit and the immediate threat of another police raid to clear the plaza, the time has come to rise up and let them know what we think of them and that we will no longer meekly accept their violations of our civil and human rights.

This event will be held weekly. Spread the word, send the invite, join us as we march in solidarity against police repression.

Wear black Rally at 7:00 pm March on OPD HQ at 9:00 pm

I am suggesting a new non-violent movement that is only centered around liberty. This clear line will make it a movement all people of the U.S. can truly and wholeheartedly support. The police state is here if you need more proof check out the Superbowl Sunday.

Not lynching as most of us imagine it.

You need to explain why the law is called lynching. Taking a person held captive by police. In parts of the country it was, back in the day, taking the person and hanging them without trial, etc. California just stupidly still has it in the books as attempting to take a captive from police officers. Not exactly the lynching one thinks of.

I did not write this, this is from Occupy Oakland. Let me get this straight i am not on the side of the police and am against using Black Bloc tactics. I believe in non violent protest and know we must absorb the police brutality. No one will stand for a police force that beats people while laying down or sitting locked together and not fighting.

The problem is Black Bloc has ended badly for movements repeatedly, usually in giving the media the clips needed to justify the crack down to the public.
