Monday, June 26, 2017 11am - Press Conference on West Steps of City Hall 2pm - Divestment Hearing, Budget and Finance Committee- Room 1010 Los Angeles City Hall, 200 N. Spring St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 For the past four months, Los Angeles has been a participant in a sweeping national movement to revolutionize the financial system at a city-level. After continuous public pressure and advocacy from Divest LA, a divestment motion has been introduced by Councilmembers Mitch O' Farrell (CD13) and Paul Koretz (CD 5), seconded by Mike Bonin (CD 11). With a majority vote, the motion will advance for a full vote by the General Council. Indigenous leaders, Divest LA, and progressive voices from supporting organizations will hold a press conference at the steps of City Hall at 11 AM urging the committee to make the right decision before moving into the Budget and Finance meeting at 2pm to show their full support for the motion. We need all earth warriors and allies to show up in FULL FORCE. Join us on the 26th and help bring people power right into the halls of centralized power. The success of the Divest LA movement will send ripple effects of change across the financial industry not only in Los Angeles, but across the country. Our public funds MUST NOT finance fraud, corruption, the victimization of communities of color, or environmentally destructive pipelines! It's time for accountability and a new era of conscious banking. RISE UP, this is a fight for our collective future! Facebook Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/759522557559419/
