This Wednesday, November 2nd at 5:30PM we will gather at Occupy LA. At 6PM, Los Angeles will march in solidarity with Occupy Oakland Protesters who were arrested and brutalized by Oakland Police and Occupy Oakland's call for a General Strike. The march will start at the Occupy LA encampment at City Hall and march through the financial district to make our voices heard. 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 brazen attack on our sisters and brothers. We demand justice, drop all charges now! Stop the attacks on all Occupy Protesters!
Here are FOUR WAYS that you can get involved in building for this historic day:
