Occupy Oakland was joined by thousands of community members, workers and other supporters at picket lines that shut down the Port of Oakland as part of the West Coast Port Shutdown actions on Dec. 12. Among the participants was Scott Olsen (bottom left photo, holding the banner near the center), the Iraq war veteran and Oakland occupier who suffered a head injury when he was struck by a police tear gas canister.
