Why:
Occupy LA needs a thematic objective that orients it with a
historically and globally broad scope. "Decolonize The World" frames
our movement as "The 99% are native free people occupying to
decolonize our communities."
We create a thematic objective to free ourselves from alien forces
seeking to impose their power and extract wealth without respect or
representation for local people.
We express solidarity with all indigenous struggles from local to
global and from ancient to current.
We challenge ourselves to examine the history of how settler's
privilege has marginalized indigenous people's voices for generations.
What:
Occupy LA adopts a subtitle of "Decolonize The World"
How:
Inform relevant committees, Include in all future consensus
