On Saturday, December 10, 2011, Occupy Los Angeles held an all female run General Assembly. Although I have attended dozens of General Assemblies over the past 71 days of our occupation, it wasn't until last night that I felt empowered enough to speak in front of the group. For that I am very grateful.
I was doing some research the other night and found out Los Angeles Police Chief Beck was assigned to the C.R.A.S.H. (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums)unit of the LAPD, which was the elite but highly controversial police unit involved in the rampart scandals of Los Angeles in the 90's.
Last night, Occupy Los Angeles received an offer from the City of Los Angeles. Nothing has been submitted to us in writing (publicly), but to my understanding, the City of LA is offering 10,000 feet of underground office space for a $1 a year lease rate. They are also saying they will provide shelter for the homeless.
