Tomorrow marks the 3 month anniversary of the start of the Occupy Wall Street movement. It comes as many cities have evicted Occupiers from their encampments forcing the movement to redefine its purpose and retool its strategies. In New York Occupy Wall Street reports it will launch Occupy 2.0 tomorrow under the banner, “Take Back the Commons.” Protestors will attempt to set up camp at Duarte Square Park on a piece of unused land that partially owned by the city and partially owned by Trinity Real Estate, a wing of the larger Trinity Church organization. On the West Coast Monday’s Port Blockade gave focus to many Occupy protestors from San Diego to Vancouver who lost their physical encampments but are intent on keeping the movement alive. Seattle police said yesterday that Monday’s action in Seattle was the most violent since the 1999 World Trade Organization protests. In a video shot by the Seattle PD a breakaway group of protestors were seen throwing objects at police. However peaceful protestors have reported aggressive and violent treatment by police on that day as well. Here in Los Angeles on Monday the Long Beach port blockade succeeded in disrupting two morning shift changes before a police crackdown and driving rain brought an end to the action by mid-day. A handful of protestors were arrested, including local organizer and activist Kwazi Nkrumah, who was scheduled to be a live guest on our show that day but who was arrested before his scheduled interview.

GUEST: Kwazi Nkrumah, LA based organizer and activist
