On Monday morning, around 500 protesters gathered in the early morning at the Port of Long Beach to block traffic in and out of SSA Marine, a shipping company partly owned by Wall Street investment firm, Goldman Sachs, joining in solidarity with protesters up and down the West Coast.

Almost a week after the Mayor of Los Angeles declared the West Steps of City Hall a “Free Speech Zone”, occupiers find themselves unable to access the site after it is permitted out to a big-budget Hollywood film crew.

Occupy Los Angeles protesters, after 59 days of occupying the lawn surrounding city hall, were finally removed after a 1400 member LAPD force surrounded and entered the park on early Tuesday morning.
