Oakland plans to occupy President Barack Obama's time on Monday with a fundraiser at the Fox Theater -- and a protest is packaged along with it.

The president is scheduled to speak at a "reception" after 4 p.m. on Monday at the downtown art-deco theater. Protesters angry over the president's moves on medical marijuana will assemble at noon.

Activists from Americans for Safe Access and California NORML are angry over the Justice Department's moves to shut down state-legal dispensaries, including Harborside Health Center in Oakland, according to SF Weekly.
