Solidarity Sunday – Wear Black Fight Back
Posted 13 hours ago on Jan. 28, 2012, 9:27 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
Occupy demonstrators in Oakland shield themselves from an exploding teargas grenade.
Yesterday, Occupy Oakland moved to convert a vacant building into a community center to provide education, medical, and housing services for the 99%. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbag rounds and mass arrests. The state has compounded its policy of callous indifference with a ruthless display of violent repression. The Occupy movement will respond, as we have always reponded: with an overwhelming show of collective resistance. Today, we take to the streets. Across the country, we will demonstrate our resolve to overcome repression and continue to build a better world grounded in love and solidarity for one another. All eyes on all Occupies.
