Currently the General Assembly in Oakland - with several thousand people in attendance - is voting on a motion to call for a General Strike on Wednesday November 2nd.At 10:00 pm Pacific Time, just as the mandate to leave the public spaces they occupied, the General Assembly in Oakland California voted overwhelmingly to call a General Strike for next Wednesday, November 2nd.

With over 1,500 votes cast the results were 1,607 YEA, 77 ABSTAIN, and 46 NAY.

PROPOSAL: We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%. We propose a city wide general strike and we propose we invite all students to walk out of school. Instead of workers going to work and students going to school, the people will converge on downtown Oakland to shut down the city. All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them. While we are calling for a general strike, we are also calling for much more. People who organize out of their neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, affinity groups, workplaces and families are encouraged to self organize in a way that allows them to participate in shutting down the city in whatever manner they are comfortable with and capable of. The whole world is watching Oakland. Let’s show them what is possible.

Earlier in the evening several thousand people tore down the fences that police erected last night and re-occupied Ogawa Plaza. It was reported that a large number left the Oakland occupation as news of a potential crack-down in San Francisco emerged. But there were still nearly 2,000 in the plaza in attendance at the General Assembly.

At 10 pm PST the livefeed from Oakland showed a large number of people still gathered at the Plaza dancing. No signs of police movement were reported although the feed ceased broadcasting at about 10:15.

The General Strike is calling upon all students and workers in Oakland to leave their positions on Wednesday and join in solidarity in a march downtown and to attempt to effectively shut the City down.

There is continued livefeed coverage from ABC News 7 in Oakland here - but I can't embed it.
