According to the Occupy LA website, on December 12, they will attempt to shut down the busiest port in the United States; the Port of Los Angeles, along with the Port of Long Beach.
The Port of Los Angeles is also known as America’s Port.
The OWSers will specifically target a shipping operation owned by Goldman Sachs; SSA Marine.
The attempted shut down is in conjunction with other OWS groups across the west coast, such as San Diego, Oakland, Portland and Anchorage.
In a report from the Los Angeles Times, OWSers will Occupy Pasadena’s 2012 Rose Parade. Occupy Rose Parade organizers say they do not want to cause problems: “We want to make sure this is completely non-disruptive to the main parade.”– Peter Thottam, Occupy Rose Parade
On December 6, thousands of protestors from several different groups across the country, helped families who lost their homes take them back. Occupy our Homes took place in Los Angeles, Riverside, South Gate, San Francisco, New York and other cities.
Big banks Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase were not happy. One family said JP Morgan Chase had put their home up for auction without telling them, while they were still living in the home: “People started calling the house saying the house was going on auction, so I called the bank.”-Arturo de los Santos
De los Santos says he tried to work a loan modification deal, but JP Morgan Chase refused. De los Santos says neighbors were told of Occupy our Homes, and support it: “On Sunday we went around the neighborhood and told neighbors we were doing this and they’re backing us up. All of them either know someone who’s going through a bad loan modification or know someone who’s out of their home because of a bad loan modification.”
According to the Washington Post, the Occupy Our Homes, or Occupied Real Estate (each movement had a different slogan), was huge. They have lots of pics. Where was the mainstream TV media coverage?
