Around 400 protesters were arrested, and many more, including the elderly, children, and some unwitting passersby, were tear-gassed and injured during the course of the first day of Occupy Oakland’s Move-In Weekend and Rise Up Festival. The day began with a march from the city hall plaza to a location chosen to become Occupy Oakland’s new community centre and home, the Kaiser Convention Center - a 215,000-square-foot building that has been empty for nearly six years. The building is publicly-owned, meaning that it should not be unreasonable for its use to be determined by members of the public. Occupy Oakland intended to repurpose the abandoned building for the good of the local community, serving as a place for general assemblies, housing, offices, events, meetings, classes, workshops, and the like. **Click Foto to Read More**
