Javier you forgot to say and have not issued a public "media" release to say that the dec. 12 "boycott and LA march was NOT a success, to put it mildly. Telemundo News Ruben Luengas reported dozens at march, on site people said very small turnout. You can try blaming the rain, but we have been in marches in rain before and the turn out was big. Broadway and Boyle Heights businesses were open. No mariachis showed up to your called march. Before you call for a boycott or mass march check with the people, and do the hard work. You are still trying to live off the 2006 actions of 5 years ago! What have you done for me lately, the community is asking. The Long Beach Port actions was successful in stopping the flow of capital/trucks for a while, but please don't try taking credit for it! It was an OLA initiated and led action.

After a week of lobbying the floor at the camp and distributuing 8oo copies of a resolution and an equal amount of flyers, the OccupyLA GA approved it on Oct 13. Threafter, the idea surged to shutdown one of the piers, through what later became the General Strike committee and as far as I know the point persons were M-Novick and Sarah Knopp, both union teachers. The flyer clearly stated that the port demonstration was part of Dec 12 actions for Immigration Reform and legalization and jobs activists, however, the primary issues for this action was around the drivers, the Longview conflict and the 1% which apparently owns the great majority of port unloading and transportation. Sometime later the more general call emerged from Occupy Oakland to close the West Coast. For your information, The Latino leadership introduced the port shut down publicly in all events events, interviews and press conferences as well as presentations to churches and organizations and I can assure that the majority of Latinos in the LA vicinity became aware and finally the ports and OccupyLA, were also part of the public opinion created. By the way because of the storm, rain and fatigue, aside from Gloria Saucedo and myself as OLA, we had a grand total addition of two courageous occupiers at the march, Javier --- On Tue, 12/13/11, lasiewi...@aol.com <lasiewi...@aol.com> wrote: From: lasiewi...@aol.com <lasiewi...@aol.com> Subject: [occupyla] Re: [civic-engagement-ola] Occupy the Ports Media reports To: frc...@yahoo.com, yudam...@yahoo.com, occup...@lists.riseup.net, civic-engagement-...@lists.riseup.net, no2housingcrime....@gmail.com, cherylaich...@gmail.com Date: Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 11:17 PM Any time a publication reports factual errors, an Erratum can be submitted to correct the error.

ILWU can not strike, because of contract obligations, without suffering grave legal and financial consequences. The media tries to give the impression that the Occupy Movement is a rogue group of crazies acting against the well-being of Port workers, truckers and their unions. Don't buy their lies!

Good Day, My 79 year old mother and I need your help. Briefly, we are being lied to and played with by Bank of America. Other have foreclosed the house that my mother has owner since the early 60's by using fraudulent foreclosure methods. Mother applied for a loan modification in 2009 and was postponed for years, she resubmitted the required paperwork and did what the bank's representatives requested - only to be postponed and misinformed repeated and for a prolonged time. The bank sale date had been postponed a number of times by the bank, but another sale date had been scheduled and took place on the scheduled day. I complained to the Bank and the state comptroler of the currency in late June 2011 and the bank response was apologize,assign my mother a workout negotiator, give her a name of the individual and his phone number to discuss and coordinate a reversal of the goreclosure sale of the property and go forward to process a loan modification. We called daily since receipt of the letter only to not speak to the representative and only have the opportunity to leave messages on an unmanned and never responded to voice mail box. They filed a UD, we got a delay, and complained again to the bank and the comptroller of the currency again. Their second response was to assign a bank representative to call early in the morning managing to always miss speaking with a person directly, but leaving a message on my voicemail. When I returned their rep's daily calls, again I was only able to leave a voicemail message and was somehow not able to communicate the bank rep that had been calling, but not communicating directly with me. Apparently, the bank assigned an employee to call me, feigning a response to my complaint, but not to follow through with a resolution. The idea being to postpone and drag out things until eviction occurred. UD will go to court on Jan 4, 2012. We need your help. We want a non-violent protest at the house to embarrass and provoke Bank of America to stop playing games with us and do what the offered in their July 20, 2011 letter. was scheduled for May 6, 2011 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group "National Alliance for Immigrant Rights Coordinating Committee."
