Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) issued the following statement on Occupy Oakland and the Day of Action:

"I want to applaud the historic showing of the thousands of people who marched peacefully on Wednesday in Oakland for economic justice and for reigniting the American Dream.  The destructive actions of a small minority of protestors are unacceptable.  I continue to call for non-violence and support the free speech rights of the protestors, as well as the small businesses, local workers, and the 99 percent."
