Thank you for the clarification.
Between 80 and 100 protesters calling themselves activists of the Occupy movement chanted as they held signs and marched from Copley Square through downtown last night to Dewey Square, briefly pausing there before proceeding back toward Copley.
Marchers said they were protesting in solidarity with the Occupy movement in Oakland, where more than 400 people were arrested Saturday after clashes with police.
“This is not dying. We are not going away,’’ said Danny Manriquez, who stood by a tent he briefly set up on Dewey Square. The 25-year-old from Long Beach, Calif., said he has been traveling to cities that had Occupy sites.
“Class warfare is what’s going on here,’’ he said.
New York City police arrested 12 protesters affiliated with the Occupy movement who participated in a Lower Manhattan march on Sunday night.
About 300 people participate in the march to show support for protesters in Oakland, California, where a Saturday night Occupy demonstration ended with police firing smoke and tear gas and arresting at least 500 people.
Protesters in Oakland attempted to take the Henry Kaiser Convention Center’s building in the city’s downtown area, but were stopped by the police. The security forces reported 300 arrests during the day.
The number of those arrested grew to nearly 500 as the protesters then aimed to take over the YMCA building before storming the City Hall on Sunday.
The crowd in New York began marching just after 7 pm in Washington Square, where hundreds of people assembled near a fountain, beating drums and waving flags, before heading north and eventually ending up in Tompkins Square Park.
”New York is Oakland, Oakland is New York,” protesters chanted.
Meanwhile, police arrested two people after Occupy protesters in the US city of Philadelphia knocked down a fence at the City Hall construction area, the group campsite before their eviction in November.
The protest campaign owes its inspiration to the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, which began when a group of demonstrators gathered in New York’s financial district on September 17 to protest the excessive influence of big corporations on the US policies as well as the unjust distribution of wealth in the country among other things.
According to occupyarrests.com, with the exception of the latest arrests, at least 6,319 Occupy protesters have been apprehended since the emergence of the movement.
WASHINGTON — An Occupy DC protester was stunned by police with an electric taser shot and arrested for disorderly conduct on Sunday as he tried to tear down eviction notices, activists told AFP.
The incident, which was confirmed by police to the Washington Post, was a sign of increased tension on the eve of a deadline for anti-corporate protesters to stop camping out in the two Washington parks they have been occupying for four months, McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza.
The arrested man, who protesters identified as “Lash,” was booked and will face charges in court on Monday, said protester Kelly Canavan.
Three officers arrested the activist because he was taking down flyers that the officers were posting on the tents, said another protester, Annie Storr.
“He said ‘please don’t tase me,’ and they tased him,” said Canavan.

I don’t need to explain to you why, as a bookworm, teacher, socialist and lover of democracy, I idealize libraries to the point of it being almost fetish-like.
Police Chief Howard Jordan has been quoted in AP saying there were almost 400 people arrested yesterday. There are many people who were arrested that need urgent medical attention, people who have been injured by the police or do not have their medication with them that they need to treat prior conditions. We need the money to bail these people out!
Many people who have medical needs were unable to prevent themselves from being arrested, or to retrieve their medication, because the police did not give a dispersal order– they just kettled. We are still gathering names.
Our bail funds have been dwindling significantly as a result of the police backlash against occupy oakland in the last month, if you are able, PLEASE donate – 10, 50, 100, whatever you can!

In response to brutal police repression in Oakland this evening (including tear-gas, “flash” grenades, projectiles, mass arrests, and a pregnant woman hit in the belly by a policeman’s baton) direct action working groups from at least Occupy Wall St, Occupy Boston, and Occupy Philly, have stayed up late to craft a massive coordinated response. Here are the initial results:
In Philly, we will converge at LOVE Park, at 7pm EST.
In NYC, we will converge at Washington Square, at 7pm EST.
In Boston, we will converge at Copley Square, at 7pm. EST.
In Baltimore, we will converge at McEldin Square, at 7pm. EST.
If your Occupy can come to a snap consensus on a place, email the location to solidarity@occupywallst.org so OWS can tell the world just how massively this movement responds to such brutality.
Tweet about it with #solidaritysunday and/or #J29.
Here’s a draft messaging statement prepared by Occupiers from these various cities (working collaboratively on etherpad, of course):
Yesterday, Occupy Oakland moved to convert a vacant building into a community center to provide education, medical, and housing services for the 99%. Police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbag rounds, and mass arrests. The state has compounded its policy of callous indifference with a ruthless display of violent repression. The Occupy movement will respond, as we have always responded: with an overwhelming show of collective resistance.
Today, January 29, we take to the streets. J29. Across the country, we will demonstrate our resolve to overcome repression and continue to build a better world grounded in love and solidarity for one another. We will let the our country, the world, and our cities, another world is possible and we will not stand for violent repression from the state and the police.
All eyes are on all Occupies.
Be creative! Be agile! BE ORGANIZED!
Solidarity,
Nate

P.S. Philly people, the Occupy Spaces meeting scheduled from 2-4 p.m. at LAVA (4134 Lancaster Ave) will be an emergency planning meeting for what we do beyond converging at LOVE Park at 7pm… (Full transparency: The Philly part of the plan was agreed to by the fastest moving e-mail thread I’ve ever been a part of - over 100 posts in an hour or so - which included both the Direct Action listserv and the Occupy Spaces listserv.)
Occupy Oakland’s building occupation, an act of civil disobedience, was disrupted by a brutal police response yesterday. Protesters were met with baton strikes, shot with rubber bullets, and exposed to tear gas along the route. Police immediately issued denials that tear gas was used; however, as many victims can attest, it was used freely and without regard to safety of the diverse crowd, which included families and children.
Later, in a subsequent attempt to Occupy an abandoned building in downtown Oakland, Oakland police arrested hundreds of demonstrators. Many were reported injured as police used batons to herd protesters into a kettle in front of the YMCA.
The OPD and City have issued several false claims that need to be rebutted. OPD claim that there was no tear gas used, a fabrication easily refuted by video shot by protesters. Police also claim that several officers were injured by protesters—again, there is absolutely no evidence of this claim, which is made at every demonstration and subsequently proven to be baseless. Protesters kettled in front of the YMCA, fled into the building, aided, at first by employees there. They did so to escape police, herding protesters against the walls of the building with baton-strikes. As always, police justify their actions by claiming that protesters attacked them or are a danger to others. But there are no reported injuries to police from protesters; a wedding party felt so unthreatened by Occupy Oakland, that it continued to have a reception in an art gallery in the plaza throughout the night.
