Occupy Oakland won a resounding Oct. 26 victory by mobilizing 3000 people to respond to a police riot. They took down the police fence that exiled them from the plaza in front of city hall, set up tents again, and returned to dancing...Some 1500 people later attended a daily General Assembly and voted for a general strike on Nov. 2...Downtown banks were also encouraged to close and demonstrators vowed to enter them if they did not.
