IF YOU’RE FACING FORECLOSURE, METRO CITATIONS ARE NO JOKE

Submitted by OLA Web Team on

VAN NUYS, CA, Oct 15—In what can only be understood as continued harassment on behalf of

banks and retaliation for resistance, LAPD cruisers and a Department of Sanitation truck lined the
street outside the Hernandez family’s Van Nuys home this afternoon and declared that furniture
and a temporary wooden barricade on the property are violations of city sidewalk ordinance 56.11.
The Hernandez family, facing imminent foreclosure, currently have proceedings pending before
the court for two earlier 56.11 citations, noting that there are no sidewalks in front of their home
and no immediate threat to public health or safety. The Hernandez family has erected the ten-foot
barricade in symbolic protest of their impending, fraudulent eviction by Bank of America with the
help of neighbors, the Occupy Movement, and other grassroots groups.

Update 7:50PM: Ulises has been released after being bailed out, and is probably already home as I type this. Thank you to all the phone calles to the SFV LAPD as it surely helped speed up his release!

Update 6PM: Ulises is being bailed out right now, and will be back to the Fort in a few hours.

Update 5:30PM: The LAPD are now claiming he is being held on an unpaid metro ticket, and it will cost $561 to get him out of jail.

Theme GA Cancelled this Weekend, Our Comrades Foreclosure comes first!

Submitted by lizsavage on

This weekend I had planned my first stab at actually facilitating a GA. Unfortunatly I have to cancel it because there is a much greater need in our community.

Our comrades have been fighting foreclosure for four years. The foreclosure is completely fraudulent, starting with the paperwork the bank submitted to offer this loan to the family to begin with. This house has gone to auction many times and has never once been sold. They recieved eviction papers this week, and the house is still with no buyer.

The PR war being launched against OLA

Submitted by lizsavage on

Its been almost 11 months now, and as we close in on the year anniversary of Occupy, we see major fear arising from the simple fact that Occupy Los Angeles is still around, still going strong, and refusing to give up or give in.

This has infuriated the business interests of those who control and want to own all of downtown Los Angeles. The Central City Association has commandeered Los Angeles in the name of the banks, corporate interests, and the nepotisic group of fiends and lackeys.
