Today the Anarchists residing in a community shop they call the A-Occasions Community Headquarters, have planned to make a bold announcement at City Hall's meeting. They claim they are going to replace City Council with a people's council with consensed spokesperson's from collectives of each district in Long Beach. They also claim that they are starting a new program to replace ALL institutions set up by what they call "The System". They say they will setup a new food distribution collective consisting of people from the community growing food instead of lawns, and want to takeover abandoned lots to turn them into gardens. They also wish to take food that chain stores throw away and distribute it to the community. They also claim they are starting programs to negotiate gang truces, school unions, college unions, work unions, and housing unions. Getting more bold the anarchists say they will setup programs to watch the police, and police their own communities. How? They say the community can do all of this, if it is organized. "We have been telling people that we don't need bosses, landlords, and governments to live our lives, we can do everything we need to live ourselves."
Anarchists say that they are starting a council called, "The People's Council Of Long Beach" which all of the community is invited to join and start organizing in different departments they call collectives. This is another strange turn of events since the anarchists first introduced themselves in Long Beach on May 1st 2001, when they battled with the police downtown. After opening A-Occasions they created a air of mystery on what they were planning on doing with the space. Many questions arose when they organized a Police Brutality Demo on Febuary 9th after the shooting of Marcella Byrd. After it all turned out peaceful I asked one anarchist, who calls himself A-Day, if he has finally decided to follow the law on demonstrations, which he stated, "No, its all part of the plan." Anarchists refused to comment any more than that, but I have a feeling that a lot more surprises are about to come.
