Occupy will ramp up in Los Angeles for winter

occupy-sign-iris.jpgOccupy Wall Street organizer David DeGraw spoke at Occupy L.A. on Sunday night and said focus would shift to the Los Angeles encampment during the New York winter. "L.A. is going to blow up over the next few months and through the winter," DeGraw said, according to Neon Tommy. "The winter is brutal. People in New York are talking about coming out here. We're going to keep pushing, but it's definitely going to slow [OWS] down. You are all going to have to step up. It's your turn to lead the leaderless."
