In London, thousands of people protested and hundreds have set up camp in St. Paul&#8217;s. They have dubbed themselves Occupy the London Stock Exchange. Meanwhile here in the US, a number of Occupy encampments are being targeted by police. In Chicago on Sunday, hundreds of police encircled Congress Plaza in Grant Park where Occupy Chicago was based, and arrested 175 protesters. In San Francisco, protesters have repeated had their campsites raided by police. Five people were arrested there yesterday. Here in Southern California, the encampment in front of City Hall in Downtown LA continues to grow and expand, energized by a massive march and rally on Saturday. A number of occupy encampments have cropped up in other cities like Long Beach where protesters attempted to camp out in Lincoln Park only to be arrested by police this weekend. <\/p>\n<p>The occupy movements have become so popular and widespread that even liberal activists like Robert Reich and Van Jones have taken up the banner. At the recent Take Back the American Dream conference, Reich, the former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, gave a rousing speech about the effects of regressive policies over the past few decades. That speech, along with a speech by Van Jones, is our thank you gift to you today. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank You Gifts: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Uprising Fall 2011 4 G USB Memory Stick &#8211; $120<\/p>\n<p>Robert Reich and Van Jones talks on CD &#8212; $50<\/p>\n<p>Robert Reich and Van Jones talks on DVD &#8212; $75<\/p>\n<p>Call 818-985-KPFK (5735) or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpfk.org\">www.kpfk.org<\/a> to make a pledge. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A global day of action in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street on Saturday October 15th resulted in an enormous showing all over the world, with hundreds of cities joining the movement for economic justice.
