Like in New York, a group of activists, called a &#8220;General Assembly&#8221; has been formed to make decisions collectively. The demonstrations continued yesterday with many protesters pitching tents and spending the night. The protesters are rallying with the slogan, &#8220;we are the 99 percent,&#8221; alluding to the stark wealth gap between the nation&#8217;s richest 1% and their disproportionate political power, and the rest of Americans. Uprising correspondents Ankur Patel and Bipasha Shom were at the Occupy LA protests on Saturday and filed this special report. <\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how long people intend to remain in front of City Hall. Bethania Palma is a member of the General Assembly for Occupy LA. According to her, there will be a march to a bank at 3 pm today by UTLA teachers, starting at 322 S. Lucas Avenue in LA, followed by a march by ANSWER Coalition at 5 pm to support protesters arrested in New York.
