OccupySF protesters, which included labor union leaders and activists, held an emergency meeting at Justin Herman Plaza last eve in preparation for an expected raid by police on protesters encamped outside the Federal Reserve Bank. Photos by Luke Thomas.<\/p><\/div>\n

November 18, 2011<\/p>\n

Last night, OccupySF had taken on a whole new countenance. Tents were lined up like bon-bons in a gift box, the bocce ball court was cleared and raked, the media, first aid and kitchen tents were organized and inviting, and the atmosphere was both relaxed (because it appeared there would be no police raid<\/a>) and expectant (because folks were feeling renewed about the movement).<\/p>\n

When I first arrived, a pow-wow of participants was engaged in introductions of the many organizations that were represented (Labor Council, ILWU, UHW, Coalition on Homelessness, etc). Individuals were invited to identify as newly visiting or having been with OccupySF for a while. The congenial crowd then did a run-through of linking arms and creating a human chain in anticipation of protecting the tents in front of the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

Next, participants marched to the Federal Reserve and practiced ringing the tents and locking arms while shouting, “We are the 99 percent!”<\/p>\n

Supervisor Jane Kim was on-hand at Justin Herman Plaza to observe. She quietly opined with those who conferred with her that police action was unlikely. She had been with Mayor-elect Ed Lee earlier and knew he was not issuing any immediate orders. Police officers at the scene were calm and respectful, though they did put the kibosh on blaring music through the loudspeakers. No dancing in the plaza last night, but we still enjoyed the afterglow of an evening well-spent.<\/p>\n
