(Note: Although I am a member of Occupy Los Angeles, I do not represent Occupy Los Angeles in my blog. Only consensus through the GA does, and OLA have official media channels [youtube, etc.]. Much better photographers than I present their work there. I simply feel driven to document this historic movement and once a year or so, manage to take a decent picture. I hope people enjoy these attempts. )
February 11, 2012, Occupy San Diego hosted a Southern California Inter-Occupy event. Occupy Los Angeles, Occupy Long Beach, Occupy Orange County, and more were present. Much love to everyone, especially OSD.

First we gathered at the site of the OSD encampment, Freedom Plaza.
There was more than one march. The first was to celebrate/commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the San Diego Free Speech Battles.
On the way to the famed intersection, we marched past a Bank of America. They locked their doors:

On our way with the free speech soapboxes, for which people had died one hundred years ago:
Then we gathered at Children's Park to meet with a group who'd invited us to join their protest of the NDAA. The Occupy LA bus arrived about then and the groups gathered.

On our way to the San Diego Convention Center to express our distress regarding the NDAA to the Democratic Convention:
"Democrats, come out to play-yay!"
We later learned that Kamala Harris, Attorney General, who sold us out to the banks, was there making a presentation.
On our way back to the park for the Inter-Occupation General Assembly:
I appreciate that Occupy San Diego have learned and shared that when one chant begins to fade, someone should always start a new one. Cross-fade. Never be silent.
