<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Los Angeles, CA - Demonstrations, marches and protests have been taking place all over the world to mark International Women's Day. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here in Los Angeles, two rallies took place in Downtown, Los Angeles and in Hollywood on March 9. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In Downtown, Los Angeles activists gathered at 10:30am on a corner of Bauchet and North Vignes Streets near the family visiting lines outside the Downtown Jail. The rally was organized by several activist groups including Alexandria House, Californians United for a Responsible Budget, DCFS Give Us Back Our Children, Every Mother is a Working Mother, Women of Color/Global Women's Strike and many more. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Rally started with Aztec Dance performance and continued with speeches. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The women called to end poverty, to stop removing children from their moms due to poverty, to stop cutting welfare, health care, food security and other basic survival needs for low income communities. The activists demanded the change of priorities from war and prison economy to the one that cares about people and the environment. An organizer of Women of Color/Global Women's Strike, Margaret Prescod said " Our focus on International Women's Day is the increasing precarious position of women and our children in Southern California….The ongoing economic crisis is hitting single mothers, immigrants and other low and no income people the hardest, and women of color are disproportionally impacted". Diana Zuniga, an activist from California United for Responsible Budget said " The women in Los Angeles are hungry and in need of health care. What Los Angeles want to do? They want to build a $200 million so -called "Women's Village' - a new jail!….The women in Los Angeles don't need a new jail….We need to be out of jail with housing, food, education, quality healthcare of our choice and other resources necessary for the care of our families….". </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In Hollywood, about 200 activists, students and labor organizers gathered on a corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Vine Street at 1:30pm. This rally was organized by WORD - LA (Women Organized to Resist and Defend). Daniel Norwood , Los Angeles organizer from WORD said "Violence against women is not normal. It is not acceptable. Women and our allies in the struggle for justice will no longer tolerate it". Mayra Vega an organizer of Los Angeles for a New Economy pointed out that women in Los Angeles are struggling due to their low wages. " 61% of women are making poverty wages and they are living in our communities. Those women deserve respect and livable wages!" Mrs. Vega added. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Los Angeles, CA - Activists from Alliance of California for Community Empowerment, homeowners and Occupy Fights Foreclosures activists gathered on the intersection of 7th Street and Figueroa Street for a Day of Action Against Wells Fargo bank, at 10:30am in Downtown Los Angeles on February 27. The activists' plan for the Day of Action was to shut down four Wells Fargo bank branches around Los Angeles area. This Day of Action was organized by ACCE and supported by Occupy Fights Foreclosures activists. Carlos Marroquin, a core member of Occupy Fights Foreclosures said "we organized this day of action against Wells Fargo bank because Wells Fargo refuses to work with the families. Wells Fargo continues to mislead homeowners while many other banks are already working with the families".</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At 11:am activists marched to Wells Fargo branch located on the intersection of Figueroa Street and Olympic Blvd. Activists went inside the branch demanding the branch manager to Fax the letter of their demands to the CEO of Wells Fargo bank, John Stumpf. The protesters refused to leave the building until they saw the proof that their Fax being send. An activist from ACCE and a core organizer for the Day of Action Against Wells Fargo bank Melvina Bogan said "We are not leaving here until you Fax that letter to the CEO". Activists continued chanting "Fax that letter, Fax that letter…". After about 15 minutes the letter was faxed and protesters peacefully left the bank, chanting "we'll be back, we'll be back…"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The activists moved on to the next Wells Fargo branch located on Wilshire Blvd. and Lucas Street. By the time they arrived to the location, the branch already was closed for business. Protesters marched in a circle in front of the bank chanting " Hey Wells Fargo , what do you say, How many homes did you steal today?" The activists marched and chanted for about 20 minutes and moved on to Wells Fargo History Museum on 333 South Grand Avenue. The protesters marched in a circle chanting outside of Wells Fargo History Museum that was already locked down by the time they arrived there. Melvina Bogan said "There are marchers today all over the State of California from ACCE and Occupy groups . We are here today to let you know, Wells Fargo, that we are homeowners and we are not going to take it any longer…we are demanding that you listen to all of our voices!"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The fourth and the last branch that activists visited was Wells Fargo branch on North Hill Street between Bernard and College Streets in Chinatown. The branch was also closed for business at the time protesters arrived. Activists and homeowners once again chanted and marched in a circle in front of the bank. At the end of the Day of Action against Wells Fargo bank , Melvina Bogas said " I think we had an excellent showing today and we are going to be doing this throughout a month of March". Protesters shouted "Power to the People!".</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Long Beach, CA - Activists from Free Bradley Manning SoCal, as well as activists from other Occupy groups including OLA and OLB gathered to rally in solidarity with Bradley Manning's 1000th day in prison without trial in front of Armed Forces Career Center on Pine Avenue between 6th and 5th Streets on February 23 through February 24. The Rally was organized by a core member of Free Bradley Manning SoCal group, Joshua Dufour. Dufour said that there was no real planning for this rally. "We decided to handle it democratically as a group and let the group decide the shape that the rally takes…. the best way to react to this whole situation as an activist it's to put it out there and invite people…really, it was all the planning that went into this action today". </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> An activist, Danny Manriquez, said that the goal of Free Bradley Manning SoCal is to pass information from place to place, from neighborhood to neighborhood and let people know about Bradley Manning. "I came to every Bradley Manning event that I could…information should be shared with everybody" Manriquez added. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/9807579/WikiLeaks-Bradley-Mannings-motives-are-no-defence-judge-rules.html" target="_blank">Bradley Manning</a> is a United States Army Intelligence Analyst who was arrested in May 2010 on suspicion of having passed classified information to WikiLeaks website. He was charged with a number of offenses including communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source and aiding the enemy. Bradley Manning had been incarcerated for almost two years without trial. According to the <a href="http://www.globalexchange.org/blogs/peopletopeople/2013/02/21/international-protests-of-bradley-mannings-1000th-day-in-jail-without-trial/" target="_blank">Global Exchange blog</a>, Bradley Manning's trial is scheduled to start on Jun 3, 2013.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This weekend rally begun on Saturday at 1pm. About 20 activists came to show their support for Bradley Manning. Richard Spix, from Santa Ana said "He (Bradley Manning) needs a Purple Heart. He is a hero who shined light on cockroaches of our government…. Only the corrupted fear the truth". An activist from Burbank, John Hames, said that Bradley Manning released the footage to the world that U.S. government committed a murder and now he is in jail for 1000 days without trial. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The activists were handing out flyers and educating pedestrians about Bradley Manning. The Rally continued through the night and the day after. Occupy Sandy activist, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Allan Eaton</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> said that he thinks the Rally was a success. " We educated about 150 Long Beach residents on this issue and that's what's important".</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Los Angeles, CA- Occupy Fights Foreclosures activists and homeowners gathered in front of Bank of America branch on North Vermont Street at 12:00pm on Wendesday, February 20. The activists and homeowners held their signs and marched in a circle chanting "B.O.A how many homes did you steal today…. Bank of America, Bad for America". The demonstration lasted for about two hours. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Josephina Perez, a recent victim of fraudulent foreclosure came to participate in a protest with her 3-year-old grandson, Jesus and her husband, Jose Perez. Mrs. Perez said that she was trying to modify her loan with Bank of America but Bank of America repeatedly claimed that they never received her paperwork. Eventually, Bank of America foreclosed on a house and Mrs. Perez and her family, including two small children, Jesus, 3 and Nalanie, 5 were forced to live on the streets. Mrs. Perez said that they lived on the streets for three weeks. "We slept on the street, we used public bathrooms . I even gave children a bath right on the street. Many times the children wanted to go to the bathroom and could not wait for us to drive around to find one, so they would end up going to the bathroom right on the street" Mrs. Perez added crying. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sherry Hernandez, another victims of bank's fraudulent practices also came to participate in a protest this Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Hernandez is still fighting to keep her home. "We bought a house in 2006. It had to be our retirement home. We did not plan to make low payments. We wanted a conventional loan, but Countrywide pushed us to take 2% loan. After 4 months our payments got raised by $800" she said. "We were trying to get a loan somewhere else but Countrywide would not release our loan saying that we have 3 year repayment penalty that we never signed for" Mrs. Hernandez added. Eventually Mrs. Hernandez was able to get a new loan with City Mortgage, but two moths later her loan got sold to PennyMack and her troubles started again. Mrs. Hernandez is still fighting to keep her house. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Students , scientists and political leaders stood in front of Los Angeles' City Hall this Sunday afternoon in agreement that the Keystone Pipeline would destroy the effort to reduce the world carbon emissions in time to stop Global Warming. Activists demand President Obama and federal government to take action now before it's to late: adding another polluter to our atmosphere could set global warming to escalate out of control. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Surprisingly enough, "Dafne" is not a world's youngest mother. On May 14, 1939 a 5-year-old peruvian girl, Lina Medina , gave birth to a boy by a caesarean section. Lina's doctor, Dr. Lozada at first was certain that she had an abdominal tumor.

<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Augsburg, Germany<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> - </span><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/06/us-germany-brothel-idUSBRE9150Y120130206" style="font-weight: normal;" target="_blank">Reuters</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> reports that a 19-year-old woman received a letter about her job placement from the German Labor Office in Augsburg this Saturday. She was shocked after reading it. Turns out that the job was lined up for her at the Augsburg Colosseum brothel. A teenager told Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper " I was looking for a decent housekeeping job - not working at the brothel bar…I was totally shocked when i read the letter. My mother even started screaming out loud when she read the letter." </span></span></span></h4>
<h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />According to <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/1482371/If-you-dont-take-a-job-as-a-prostitute-we-can-stop-your-be" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> newspaper, a few years ago the prostitution was legalized in Germany. As a result of that, the brothel owners who have to pay tax and employee health insurance gained the access to the official database of job seekers. Consequently, the brothel owners are able to look for employees through the job center just like any other business owners. </span></span></h4>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ronald Fuerst, the head of the Augsburg labor office told the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/06/us-germany-brothel-idUSBRE9150Y120130206" target="_blank">newspaper</a> that the agency knew that Colosseum was a brothel but send the letter anyway. It was a mistake on the agency's behalf. The agency had to call the woman first and ask if she was interested working in a brothel, instead of just sending her a letter, Fuerst added.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It turns out that tug - of - war can be a dangerous game.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Los Angeles </b>- On Monday two high school students, boy and a girl lost their fingers while participating in a tug - of -war game during lunchtime at El Monte High school, officials told <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/05/us-usa-california-fingers-idUSBRE91414W20130205" target="_blank">Reuters</a>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The students were competing against each other and somehow the rope snapped amputating the fingers of two students. Los Angeles County supervising fire dispatcher, Eddie Pickett told <a href="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/05/16852531-two-high-school-students-lose-fingers-during-tug-of-war?lite" target="_blank">NBC News</a> that a male student lost four fingers on his right hand while a female student lost four fingers on her right hand and a thumb on her left hand. However, <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57567620/so-cal-tug-of-war-turns-gruesome-for-two/" target="_blank">CBS News</a> reports that the girl lost three fingers on her right hand and two fingers on her left hand. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">According to <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57567620/so-cal-tug-of-war-turns-gruesome-for-two/" target="_blank">CBS News</a> the student were identified by their classmates as Edith Rodrigues and Pablo Ocegueda. Both victims are under the age of 18.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Both teenagers undergone hours of surgery but there is no information at this time whether the doctors were able to reattach the fingers. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nick J. Salerno, El Monte Union High School District Superintendent said <a href="http://www.fox8live.com/story/20970026/students-who-lost-fingers-in-tug-of-war-recovering" target="_blank">"I've never heard of anything like this happening…..It's unbelievable to me , it's shocking."</a> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">However, the accidents like this happened before. In Minnesota a girl lost four finger during a tug - of - war game in 2008. The fingers were still attached by tendons and were successfully reattached.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In Colorado, two high school students had their right hands partially severed during a tug - of - war at pep rally in 2007.</span><br />

On January 18, Friday afternoon, Mrs. Corona, a single mother of teenage daughter was locked out of her house by Los Angeles Police Department without prior notice. Mrs. Corona said that she was in Orange County on Friday afternoon and her daughter, Victoria, was at home alone. Police officers came into the house and escorted a teenager out on the street. LAPD officers acted upon request of Bank of America to lock Soledad Corona out of her home. A fence around the house was build and the locks were changed later on that day. Both, a mother and a daughter were left out on the streets without any personal belongings including cloth and medicine. </div>
<br />
On January 22, Tuesday morning Mrs. Corona and her supporters, including OFF activists appeared in court in front of judge. Prior to the court hearing, OFF activist Carlos Marroquin said: "We are trying to see if we could get some kind of ruling so Soledad Corona can go back to her house ….we'll see what happens here. Me personally, i don't think the judge will want to make a decision because there was already an eviction notice that it was acted on . We may not have positive outcomes here except for the fact that they may allow her (Mrs. Corona) to go get some of her property…." .<br />

<br />
<br />
It appears that Mr. Marroquin was rights predicting the outcomes of the court hearing. Lenore Albert, Mrs. Corona's attorney, said that the judge did not think that there was an emergency to make a decision and determine whether Bank of America acted according to the law or not. However, judge gave Mrs. Corona a permission to go back in a house and get some of her belongings.<br />
<br />
Later on that Tuesday, neighbors, supporters, OLA and OFF activists gathered together for a Candle Light Vigil event to honor Soledad Corona's family. Mrs. Corona said that she is thankful to Occupy for all the help and support they provided to her during those hard times. "The fight is not over yet. I have another court day on February 8 and a hope is always there" Mrs. Corona added. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"No, we don't want the money," homeowners said, as they gathered with Occupy Fights Foreclosure activists Wednesday afternoon in front of the United States Court House in downtown Los Angeles. "We denounce the agreement made by United States government officials,” protestor Carlos Marroquin said. “This is an inside agreement that only benefits the banks and not homeowners. It releases the banks from liability… It is offensive, it is criminal and it is fraudulent to reach this kind of settlement with the criminals."<br /> <br />
OFF held a press conference in front of the Federal Building, where homeowners were able to tell their stories and openly denounce the recent $10 billion settlement reached between banks and federal regulators. Following the press conference, homeowners and protesters marched down Spring Street to California Attorney General, Kamala Harris' office, chanting "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!" Mrs. Harris could not meet with the homeowners and protesters, as she was (conveniently) out of her office. Activists and homeowners marched in a circle chanting "No settlement, no way, prosecute the banks today!"</span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
It remains unclear when homeowners will receive their settlement money, how much each will receive, or if the dollar amount will justify the financial and emotional damage inflicted on them by banks. What is clear is that homeowners are devastated, and the resistance is growing. Homeowners are not willing to settle, and they are eager to fight for what they feel is right.</span></span></h4>

With millions of homes going into foreclosure, there have been allegations that banks are committing fraud. According to many foreclosure victims, banks promise homeowners who have financial difficulties a loan modification with lower interest rates and lower payments. While homeowners are led to believe that banks are willing to work with them, they continue to make their mortgage payments while in reality banks are foreclosing on their houses and selling their homes to investors. After a house has been sold, the bank evicts the homeowners and throws them out on the streets. Since California is non-judicial foreclosure state, which means that local government automatically enforce foreclosures that lenders call for, lenders only need to prove that they filled out the appropriate paperwork to prove their case. Lenders don't need to prove that they actually have legal merits for foreclosure unless they are legally challenged by the homeowners. <br />
<br />
Occupy Fights Foreclosure, a subgroup of Occupy LA continues to fight against illegal foreclosures that are currently widespread in the state of California. OFF started the year 2013 by marching and chanting at the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena. The group of activists and victims of illegal foreclosures met at Singer park on January 1st at 6am Tuesday morning to prepare for the parade. They adjusted a 15-foot-high float with "Giant Mr. Monopoly Man" on a wagon and marched the 5 mile route following the Parade. Carlos Marroquin said that the reason for marching at the Rose Parade is not only to protest illegal foreclosure practices of the major banks but also to create public awareness and spread the word about banks' fraudulent actions.<br />

<br />
On December 23rd Occupy Fights Foreclosure, a Los Angeles based group reoccupied Soledad Corona's foreclosed house. Mrs. Corona is a single mother who was evicted from her home by the Bank of America on December 21st. Mrs. Corona said that she was relaxing in her home when she heard some strange noises at 9 o'clock in the morning. She looked outside the window and she saw the sheriffs breaking her locks and entering her house. There were also 7 police cars outside, Mrs. Corona added. In a few minutes the sheriffs entered her house. Mrs. Corona had paperwork from her lender, Bank of America, that promised her a loan modification. She tried to show the paperwork to the sheriffs, but they did not want to look at it. Mrs. Corona said that she got very concerned about her 20 year old daughter, Victoria, who had a final in school that day. Mrs. Corona said that she was treated as a criminal by the sheriffs department and that they forced her out of the house at the gunpoint. Mrs. Corona added "I am a single mother and I am homeless for the Holidays". <br />
<br />
Members of the Occupy Fights Foreclosure group as well as friends, neighbors and supporters gathered in Soledad Corona's foreclosed house. Andrea Ramirez, 9 years old, said that she is here hoping to help her grandmother, Alicia Ramirez, to get her house back. Mrs. Ramirez said that she was illegally evicted from her home by Vanderbilt Bank that promised her a loan modification. <br />
<br />
Carlos Marroquin, a member of Occupy Fights Foreclosure said that "we reoccupied Corona's house because we hope to get attention from Bank of America. We will stay here as long as we need. We hope that Bank of America will start working with families and will do a right thing". "Homeowners are the victims , they are abused by the banks and the system", Mr. Marroquin added. <br />

<br />
<br />
Last November 64% of Long Beach city residents had voted in favor of Measure N that requires Long Beach hotels with more than 100 rooms to pay their employees at least $13 an hour even though the minimum wage in California is $8.<br />
<br />
Right before the new minimum wage for Long Beach hotels goes into effect, Best Western Golden Sails Hotel that has 170 rooms told their 75 employees that they all will be laid off by Saturday , December 15, 2012. The employees were also told that the hotel will be downsizing and it will be reopened under a new management. Some of the employees will be rehired but as of this Saturday all employees are considered terminated and are eligible for a $1,000 severance package. <br />
<br />
Rosa Rivera , a 20 - year employee at the Best Western cries outside of the hotel. Mrs. Rivera said that she does not know why she was laid off and how she will pay her rent and bills without a job. Carmen Pena, a 9 - year employee said that because she was fired her children will not have Christmas presents this year. "I don't know why I was fired", Pena added crying.<br />
<br />
In response to this injustice, employees of this Best Western hotel along with a Unite Here, Local 11 group and about 100 Long Beach residents/ activists, gathered together to protest the hotel's immoral practices. California State Senator Ricardo Lara and four Long Beach City Council members, Patrick O'Donnell, Steve Neal, Al Austin and Suja Lowenthal joined the protesters this morning. The city officials addressed the crowd at the press conference pointing out the hotel's immoral , anti - American and anti - Democratic practices.<br />

On December 6 a year ago, the groups of activists around the country participated in a day of action for housing justice launching the Occupy Our Homes movement. Since a year ago , activists, homeless advocates, students, homeowners and other occupy groups have come together to fight against illegal foreclosures and evictions.<br />
<br />
Today, Los Angeles based group, Occupy Fights Foreclosure, celebrates a year anniversary and protests together with activists , homeowners and members of other occupy groups inside the Wells Fargo branch on 1600 Vine street in Hollywood. The protesters demand justice, a stop to illegal foreclosures, reduction of the principal of underwater mortgages and full compliance with the national Attorney General settlement. After an hour, Wells Fargo bank officials shut down the branch and forced the protesters to leave the building. <br />

Most of his sculptures and installations are figurative, such as the giant wire sculptures filled with cans, shells, computer parts, and other recycled objects; and the life-sized man and Barbie woman transformed into fountains, with water flowing from between their legs and from Barbie's breasts. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The artist and restauranteur owner, Sanchez grew up in poverty. At four years old his father died, and at five he began shining shoes to help his mother make a living. Sanchez said he never had any toys growing up. “I never played as a child. Those are my toys,” he said, referring to his artwork. He came to the United States in 1984 from the Michoacan village of Sahuayo, in western Mexico. Sanchez was surprised at how much people in United States throw away, including still useful objects like chairs, couches, beds, TVs, electronics, and more. He said that he never throws anything away, because he believes that if an object cannot be used for what it was meant for, then it is always possible to find it another use. His older daughter Stephanie said that her father would go through the trash can every evening to see what the family threw away, trying to find items he could use for his art. In the beginning his family couldn't understand what he was trying to create. “It was hard to explain to people what I was trying to do, because all they saw was trash.” Sometimes the family even argued with him about saving empty cans, bottles, and other garbage, but after Sanchez created his first figures, his wife and daughters pitched in and helped him collect more discarded items. Stephanie said that they separated trash cans, using one for trash to be thrown away, and the other one for “trash” that Sanchez could use in future sculptures.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In the early days, to make ends meet, Sanchez sold oranges on street corners and freeway off-ramps. Later he and his wife, Concepcion became hotdog sellers, purchasing their own hotdog cart. But when hotdogs didn't sell, he made a few adjustments, turning his hotdog enterprise into a taco cart, while dreaming of opening his own restaurant. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When Concepcion saw Tio’s Taco for rent in 1990, the family immediately jumped on the opportunity. At first the space was in dire need of remodeling. Sanchez got all the necessary permits to fix and remodel the place, and in 1995 the family purchased the restaurant and the house next door (now the Sanchez family home). In time Sanchez purchased the adjacent parking lot, and a house that now serves as a gift shop and storage space. Today the Sanchez property fills almost an entire city block, and every inch, including roofs, trees, and floors, has been personally decorated by Martin Sanchez.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>His wife Concepcion and three daughters, Stephanie (22), Kimberly (17) and Maiten (7) help out with bigger projects, but according to Sanchez, none of his sculptures or installations are ever technically “finished.” He continues enhancing his old projects while creating new ones. “I have a lot of dreams,” he said. “When I die, then it will be finished.” </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sanchez mines much of his material from his own family. The playful figures on top of the roof are his oldest daughter Stephanie's toys and dolls, while stuffed animals hanging on the trees once belonged to his youngest daughter, Maiten. His wife’s old shoes and his daughters' old bicycle, as well as the license plate from a car they once drove to Mexico on family vacation, are all mounted in concrete. The sculptures and installations made from once-owned and discarded objects opens a window to a family's past joyful memories. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Stephanie said that if her childhood bicycle was just thrown away she would never remember it. But since she sees it mounted in the ground every day she remembers the bike and all of the fun times spent riding it. More than just an artistic endeavor, Sanchez is building a scrapbook/family album/personal journal, only instead of photographs and two-dimensional objects, his memories are sculptures and installations built of his family's history, saved from the landfill. His work is built with humor, sarcasm, and love, and each piece tells its own, as well as his own, story.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> </span><br />

One such project is tree house for his youngest daughter, Maiten. “The tree house will have everything – gas, stove, electricity, and bathroom – just like a real house,” Sanchez said, pointing at the tree where he plans to build. His vivid, wild imagination, and his childish enthusiasm, helped the artist/restauranteur create this one-of-a-kind attraction that draws more visitors than a mere taco stand ever could. In fact, it's easy to forget about food while there. Tio’s Taco customers often just wander around for a while, staring at the humorous figures hiding in the trees, the fantastic tile work, and sculpture fountains, before taking a table, looking at the menu, and thinking about dinner.</span><br />

On Friday, November 23, Occupy Long Beach protests in front of the Walmart store located in Down Town Long Beach in support of Walmart employees. The activists demand higher wages, health care benefits, better hours for Walmart employees. The demonstration began with peaceful meditation and sign making. None of the Walmart employees joined the strike and a couple of workers reported that they were threatened to be fired on the spot if they joined the strike or engaged in a conversation with any members of the Occupy group. The demonstration was peaceful until the police saw nineteen year old Honor O'Kane drawing on the ground. O'Kane was taking aside while the members of the Occupy group were trying to persuade the police that drawing on the ground with a chalk was not illegal and cannot be confused with a graffiti created by spray paint. As a result, Vivian Price, a professor of labor studies at CSUDH was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of justice. Price was handcuffed and taken to the Long Beach Police Department. </div>
