Occupy Oakland New Encampment at MossWood Park, March 22, 2012 Photos

Occupy Oakland new encampment at MossWood Park, March 22, 2012 photos. The group was peaceful. Children happily playing around. Young adults drawing/coloring scenes of the event.

Anyhow, all definitely together in solidarity with OWS and Trayvon Martin. About 11am, the time of my arrival to the camp, the … Continued
