City of Oakland Notice and Demand to Occupy Oakland to Cease Violations, Fri, Oct 21, 4 pm
After allowing the occupation of Oscar Grant Plaza for twelve days, the City of Oakland now threatens occupiers with arrest. Presumably city council member Desley Brooks will have to remove her tent as well or risk seizure by the city. Here's the notice:
ATTENTION TO
PERSONS STAYING OVERNIGHT IN FRANK OGAWA PLAZA

NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS
