Occupy the Rose Parade

Submitted by Nick Bates on

Although the Occupy the Rose Parade action was not officially endorsed by Occupy Los Angeles or Pasadena General Assemblies, myself and thousands of others were more than happy at the opportunity to spread the message of the movement at the Rose Parade, an event that would be covered by mainstream and independent media alike. More importantly, however, was the fact that many people who have not been exposed to the message of the Occupy Wall Street movement would be in attendance, and would be able to see the unified, non-violent message that the movement stands for.

Anti-NDAA Action

Submitted by taylormade on

“Thank you for coming tonight, to your Political Action update” I yelled through the bull horn. The action was spreading the word about the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012. We got there at about 4pm. The action was scheduled from 3 to 7pm, so we were late. We saw the signs flying high on the corner of Wilshire and Sepulveda. We handed out fliers and talked to people that walked up and down the street. I, along with 3 others, used bull horns to communicate with the people in their cars.

Good evening, L̶o̶n̶d̶o̶n̶ America, and the rest of the world.

Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition.

"If you're innocent, why are you in jail?"

I had an argument with a co-worker some time back, about Proposition 8, a hideous (Mormon-backed) demonstration of systematic bigotry against gay couples simply wanting to wed. Like most Angelinos, he wasn't against gay marriage in theory or practice—but he played the devil's advocate anyway.
