Scott Olsen & the Iraq Vets Against the War Stage Sit-in For Bradley Manning At Obama Campaign Office in Oakland

By JP Massar

The rally was scheduled for 5:00 PM, August 16th at OGP.

At about 5:30 PM in the midst of it, the organizer for the Free Bradley Manning rally told the crowd that Scott Olsen and a small band of Vets, Occupiers and other activists had started a sit-in at the Obama campaign office a couple of blocks away. She said that we would be marching over there to support the sit-in and that the rally would continue from there.

In fifteen minutes the Obama office was both surrounded and invaded. Fifty or more people were inside, and perhaps a hundred outside, all chanting

Free Bradley Manning!
