KALW is pleased to be an official partner for the fourth annual National Day of Listening, sponsored by StoryCorps. We’re asking that you take a few minutes to say thanks to a favorite teacher. You can write a dedication post on Facebook, send a "thank you" tweet, call, write an email, or have a StoryCorps-style interview with this teacher. All the details are here.

Occupy Oakland made a peaceful return to Frank Ogawa Plaza last night following a march by several hundred from the Public Library on 14th and Madison to City Hall. Despite holding a packed General Assembly in the amphitheater, dozens of Oakland Police positioned throughout the plaza and the surrounding streets deterred any attempts to set up tents or permanently retake the plaza.

As the Occupy Wall Street movement unfolds in the Bay Area, KALW is trying something new. We’re using the sound-sharing platform SoundCloud to collect perspectives on the movement from Bay Area residents. Tell us what’s happening in your city and what you think about it. Share it with us using your Android, iPhone, or iPad and the SoundCloud App.
