A New Movement for Fighting Eviction

by LESLIE RADFORD

In the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Van Nuys in northeast Los Angeles, houseless people like JoJo have barricaded themselves for more than ninety days inside the property line of the home of Hernandez family, aspiring to the fabled “middle-class,” to prevent the family’s imminent foreclosure eviction.

A little theatrical stint by a member of Occupy Los Angeles, Civic Engagement Committee, highlighting one face of Occupy's open and un-hidden infiltration of our government. The Occupy movement is about as diverse as anything gets and is part of a much larger movement to improve the world we live in for the benefit of everyone, and this political insurgency is just one of the many autonomous sub-movements within Occupy.

Occupy Sandy: Press Coverage List

Submitted by silverapple on

Occupy Sandy's Storm Relief Effort in Rockaway, NY surpassed FEMA & Red Cross in its magnitude, flexibility and mobilization. Its non-governmental community support embodies a hardcore American conservative ideal. Rockaway is a low-income public housing area.

Occupy Sandy teaches and mobilizes everyone who wants to help and it helps everyone who needs help, many of those who are out of the narrow scope of FEMA and Red Cross targets. Occupy Sandy takes full advantage of experiences to sustain the big encampment during OWS's physical occupation.
