At the end of the speech, Davis brings news from Occupy Oakland regarding the police action, veteran Scott Olsen, and Oakland's call for a general strike on Nov. 2, 2011 (6:14).

"Decolonize Oakland, We are the 99%, We Stand United, November 2nd, 2011, General Strike, No work, No School, Occupy Everywhere."
THE PEOPLE'S MIC: The crowd tries to repeat the words of the speaker for the benefit of those who may have difficulty hearing what the speaker is saying. Why not use microphones or megaphones? In NYC, a sound permit is required for their public use with police deciding.
