In case you haven’t heard, the anti-corporate protests that started on Wall Street last month have spread across the nation, and this week the occupation movement has made it’s mark on Oakland. Hundreds of people have gathered and pitched tents in Frank Ogawa plaza, which protesters have renamed Oscar Grant plaza.
