Occupy L.A. rejects last-ditch plea to leave City Hall

Occupy L.A. participants on Sunday rejected a city official’s midday plea to move their political activism indoors and depart the park space that encircles Los Angeles City Hall.

The standoff sets the stage for a possible confrontation just after midnight — the deadline authorities set for clearing the park.

“Until the grievances of the 99% are addressed to end corporate control of the system, the government and the media, Occupy L.A. will be here exercising our 1st Amendment rights and petition for our grievances,” said Julie Levine, acting as one of several spokespeople for Occupy L.A., which is loosely organized.

Levine and others addressed the media and onlookers shortly after Councilman Bill Rosendahl urged them to make “a peaceful transition from this land to action.” Rosendahl pledged that city officials would try to address their demands and also would provide space outside City Hall for gatherings that would have to end each night by 10:30 p.m.

Thanks, LA!

It is awesome, and uplifting, to see brave people standing up for themselves and others as they speak truth to power.
