Currently viewing the category: "#OLA"  I received this note
recently from a friend, and I’m re-posting it here in the hope
of spreading the message as quickly and effectively as possible.
From the Public Art Defense League, operating in conjunction
with Occupy LA:  Greetings. This is Travis Wilkerson writing to
you on behalf of the Public Art Defense League–a newly-formed
collective of progressive artist/activists.   Occupy LA has been
given notice by the city leaders that it will be evicted from
city hall lawn next week. The mayor said the encampment becomes
“unlawful” on Monday morning.  Despite the contradictions of
Occupy LA, the pending eviction is part of nationally
coordinated state repression against the Occupy movement as a
whole. The blossoming of a new, growing movement of young
people, students, workers and unemployed against the wealthiest
1% has the potential to develop into an ideological force
capable of challenging the oppressive nature of the system—which
is why the state is in the process
