OAKLAND, CA – I am part of an organization called Fresh Juice Party(www.freshjuiceparty.org) .Among other things, we write songs about political issues. We started this project on April 21, 2011 when we interrupted President Obama at a fundraiser to sing him a song about the treatment of accused Wikileaks soldier Bradley Manning. We’ve since written nine more songs about current events. Here is one of them, “99″ which was written by Craig Casey & Pratibha Gautam. Another member, Naomi Pitcairn, took the photos at Occupy Oakland and Occupy SF. Pratibha put together and edited the slideshow. Enjoy!

OAKLAND, CA - After seeing firsthand how the
police behaved in downtown Oakland on October
25th, nothing will surprise me. I saw them
shooting their rubber bullets, flash bang
grenades, and teargas directly at the brave
people who were pulling an old lady in a
wheelchair and the wounded Scott Olsen out
of the fray. That day I did not have my
camera but I take it with me now wherever I
go.
Here are links to photos I took of Occupy Oakland. Please feel free to reproduce any
of them at no charge. I try to get as many demographics as possible.
