[QUOTE=ilbegone;18047]Anyone hear anything about "
Occupy LA", a demonstration effort in front of the LA City council billed as similar to that in Brooklyn? I see nothing about it in the MSM, paper or TV.
It started on September 17 and seemed pretty tame. LA ANSWER or an of the usual groups did not seem to be involved. They did however have large, professional banners someone paid for. ANSWER does seem to have gotten involved since. I heard they are camping out now, not I am not sure where they are.

Monday, Oct. 3, 5pm
-Gather at Occupy LA, 200 N. Spring St., LA
(City Hall south lawn, 1st and Spring)
-March through downtown LA financial district
On Oct. 1, New York City Police arrested over 700 protesters marching from Occupy Wall Street to Brooklyn. It was a premeditated plan to suppress a peacefull protest of thousands.
At the same time, thousands marched to set up the Occupy LA encampment at City Hall. Our movements are not only intertwined, they are the same. The police attack on protesters in New York is an attack on us all. During the past 10 days in NYC, police have been beating peaceful demonstrators, running them over with police motorcycles and engaging in unprovoked pepper spray assaults in a frantic effort to drive demonstrators from Wall Street.
This Monday, 5pm, in Los Angeles there will be an emergency Mass March in Solidarity with the Wall Street Protesters who were arrested and those brutalized by New York City Police. It will start at the Occupy LA encampment at City Hall and then march through the financial district to make our voices heard.
The people are rising up
A new global mass protest movement has gripped the Middle East and Europe, and is taking shape now in the United States. Wherever the people are rising up against unemployment and austerity, government repression and corporate domination, they have been met with police repression. But these movements will not be stopped.
We cannot let the billionaire bankers and their paid thugs derail this movement against corporate domination and greed. Let's show a united, mass response to this attack on our sisters and brothers Occupying Wall Street. Police repression in New York will only lead to larger protests there and across the country. Join Occupy LA and hit the streets on Monday.
We demand justice, drop all the charges now! Stop attacks on Wall Street protesters!
