Anarchist medic, Occupy Oakland General Strike on May Day.
Another photo of the Occupy Oakland general strike, here they are approaching Chinatown.
I never thought to take a drum to a protest, even though they’re an essential element in keeping spirits high. Wouldn’t be that hard to make one, I imagine. Next protest, maybe turn over one of those empty paint buckets and see how it sounds.
Decolonization ship at the May Day protest in East Oakland. I wonder how long it took them to build it.
The protest was very focused on immigrants rights and indigenous peoples’ rights, so this boat fit right in.
Hey drummer, nice sign. At the general strike march, Occupy Oakland, May Day.

“For those complaining about that the OWS protestors are lazy and should get a job, I’d like to point something out. During McDonald’s recent big publicity stunt of announcing they would be hiring 50,000 people, over 1,000,000 people applied. They ended up hiring 62,000 people. Now, let’s pretend that exactly 1,000,000 people applied, that means only 6.2% of applicants got a job. Incidentally, only 6.2% of 2015 class of Harvard University applicants got accepted. This means that getting a job at McDonald’s right now is more competitive than getting into Harvard freaking University. Most protestors want to work, desperately so. If you’re going to bitch about the OWS, find a better reason than lazy protestors.” - Jon Lerner

Incredibly long lines for free posters at Occupy Oakland. There were three screen printers going at once.
