Final Update:
RECOMMEND DSB'S DIARY NOW, PLEASE
Occupy Oakland: General Strike! check-in.
Just read a post from
Meteor Blades that included this:
Let me reiterate No. 3: If you ARE planning to be arrested or think you might be, make sure somebody NOT going to the protest knows about it. Make sure THEY know the National Lawyers Guild Bay Area hotline number.
MB is usually right, except for when he's damn right.
After Allie123's arrest on the night of the riotous police raid on Oakland, & the subsequent concern expressed for her disappearance, it seems like a good idea to keep track of who is going to be on the marches tomorrow. I think this is true whether or nor we have the intention of getting arrested or not. We can't count on Mayor Quan's PD to behave predictably.
JPM's diary shows about 60 Kossacks intend on being here tomorrow.
I'm requesting that someone who won't be on the streets tomorrow post a diary tonight that they themselves can update throughout tomorrow with people in attendance & any problems they encounter. Like a live-blog, but I'm thinking it should look something like
this...
Kossacks on the streets of Oakland:
Allie123
no way lack of brain
JPMassar
Kith
Catilinus
Aot
Boatsie (after 3 p.m.)
kimoconnor
dirkster42
RedBlueNoMore
"Made up name" (reported arrested)
"Made up name" (reported injured)
etc, etc,
Being in jail is bad. Being there & thinking no one knows is worse.

Legal Hotline 415-285-1011
This number will be available to track arrests and deal with legal emergencies. We are trying to keep it staffed 24/7. If you are arrested, see arrests, or witness incidences of police misconduct, let us know! Note: We only have resources to support folks in the San Francisco Bay Area.
What we can't do:
Handle bail/bond - we can't raise funds, arrange bail, or otherwise deal with money
You don't need to be in the Bay Area to do this.
Can someone step up?
Post it & we'll rec it up.
UPDATE: 7:54 P.M.
Dsb & jlms qkw have stepped up.
-It is 7:54 here in Oakland.
Dsb will post her diary at 10:00 p.m. tonight. REC IT UP when it appears.
jlms qkw Will take over at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Thanks to both of you...& to everyone supporting however they can. We can't do it alone, but we're doing it together.
UPDATE 2x: Just posted final call from Occupy Oakland with suggestions for activities tomorrow.
Remember to watch for DSB's diary/live blog at 10:00 p.m.
