We are trying to locate our arrestees.  They have not been inputed to the county inmate database and we have been told they will not be.  We demand that they be released in a timely fashion.  We demand that they have access to lawyers immediately.  We still, for the time being, have Habeas Corpus, so it is illegal for these men and women to be held in a secret location.  We appeal to the 1400 officers involved in the paramilitary-style raid to uphold their oaths to serve and protect the constitution and refuse any order that is in violation of this

Occupy Los Angeles is a peaceful-nonviolent movement.  We are at a critical juncture in our occupation, when conflict with the police seems inevitable.  They have announced that they intend to remove us next week with 72 hours notice.  We have a great opportunity to demonstrate the best methods of non-violent resistance that we can muster.  For the next few days, I and many of us will be pledging our commitment to non-violence and peaceful resistance.  Many of us believe Occupy Los Angeles should resist police calmly and non-violently, and then reoccupy as necessary.
