I believe that Occupy LA is in dire need of a 1st line of communication so that everyone atb the camp and off site know what is happening, where, what to pass on to their network and what to do.

I believe today was a good trial run of what could happen and it's my belief that in a lot of ways we failed in the line of communication department. 

 

 

For the most up to date information such as this where do we go?

Ummmm Hello?

I'm really feeling disappointed right now. I want to help, I'm willing to volunteer wherever possible and I want this movement to get bigger, louder and gain the support of all of our 99% neighbors not currently participating.

However, I feel that I helped to miss lead people yesterday because I was going by 2nd and third party information that was not always complete or mis-communicated. In the future I would like to help make emergency situations such as yesterday's protest to be communicated accurately. How can this be done?

I WILL volunteer to help. I will do my best to get new volunteers - let’s form a group, sub-group or committee - something. But lets do SOMETHING so that in the future we can make sure that 99% of Los Angeles County knows what is happening, what to do and where to go.

I Occupy because I may be physically limited but I am not dis abled.

I Occupy because everyone should have equal opportunities.

I Occupy because I am not afraid to stand up to greed and corruption

Read paragraph 4

Democratic strategists have identified the OWS movement as a way to tap this populist anger. As an example, the L.A. Times reported that Robby Mook, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, wrote an email to supporters saying "protesters are assembling in New York and around the country to let billionaires, big oil and big bankers know that we're not going to let the richest 1% force draconian economic policies and massive cutes to crucial programs on Main Street Americans."

It goes on to say...

It may be easy to dismiss OWS as a ragtag group of protesters but they have demonstrated that they should be treated more like an organized competitor who is very nimble and capable of working the media, coordinating third party support and engaging office holders to do their bidding. To counter that, we have to do the same.
