Inside Occupy LA: Week 5 - Bank Transfer!, Oakland Solidarity, Demonstrations and... Weed

November 2 was a National Day of Action for Occupy Oakland and the Occupy Movement. Occupiers across the nation held marches and actions in solidarity with our brothers and sisters up north and their general strike. A picture circulated around Facebook and Twitter of what looks to be thousands of people out in the streets surrounded around a Chase bank in Oakland. One little picture displayed such a powerful message. I wasn’t present, but later that night LA Occupiers marched to…

Inside Occupy LA: Week 4 - Obama, Living Together, Tom Morello and... Bad Apples

Around 4am early Sunday morning, myself and a couple other occupiers talked amongst ourselves about how we can improve the condition of our site and make it more welcoming. We were fed up with being kept up all night and people putting their own superficial selfish wants over the dire universal needs of the other activists. We organized a community meeting for 3pm on Monday. I went home later that morning and returned to the site after I was done with my classes for the day.… Continue

An Oxymoron's Dream: The Black Skin Head

I have had the wonderful opportunity to interview Shaun McDaniel, a Black skinhead. Now, usually when people hear the term skinhead, the idea of an uber-racist Aryan Nazi-lover springs to mind and to hear of a Black skinhead appears very oxymoronic. Getting to hear McDaniel to tell his story definitely tell otherwise.

record, I hate morning time. It's nothing personal. Especially during

this time of the year, these frosty caffeine, traffic jam, nearly nerve

wrecking Dallas mornings are not… Continue
