Hi All, Occupy Long Beach is growing. People calling, showing up, emailing "when is next meeting?/what can I do to help?"/ "I'm behind you."
We did have one speaker on open mike at the City Council tonight. Tammara Phillips' personal story of loss because of this horrible economic downturn was heart wrenching. This brought her to this movement. She relayed to the Council that Occupy LB regards itself as "the 99 percenters," that is we represent the dispair and frustration of the 99 percent in our country who are powerless and fed up. She relayed our request that the Council help us. We will be posting her speech. Try to watch the televised Council session. Council members Schipske and Garcia and Vice Mayor Lowenthal and Mayor Foster spoke. Tomorrow we are back to Bluff Park.
