Welcome to the
COALITION FOR 10801
TENANT SAFETY & JUSTICE
After you get through this introduction, see the other news items on this side bar. Also, the “Related Links” (also found on this side bar – just scroll down), has a wealth of articles on this subject including several that cover our story.
HERE'S SOME BACKGROUND TO THIS STORY:
This blog was set up on Jan. 14, 2009 -- the day the building owners and Frank Rahban of 10801 National Blvd, L.A., CA 90064 (This is where I practiced from 1993 to 2009), World Wide Rush (Sign company), and Tropicana (Division of Pepsico, Inc.), put up a monstrous supergraphic (vinyl sign) that completely covered one side of the 6 story building.
10801takesigndown.blogspot.com was set up to be a centralized place to inform the tenants of the latest news concerning their safety and to find a way to have this sign removed as soon as possible.
FLASH - Approximately one month after starting this blog (Feb. 16, 2009), the owners found a way to have Dr. Allan removed from his office. See a short documentary by KCET that explain what happened by clicking here.
Now be honest sir, did you have permits to protest ?
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent question.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, we don't know. Myself nor members of the coalition did not organize this event -- we just were participants.
Personally, I've never been to a protest.
ReplyDeleteDo you really need a permit for a meeting where a bunch of folks meet for an hour in a residential neighborhood, walking up and down the street holding signs?
We were in the street (there were no sidewalks) and not causing a commotion and we did not trespass on to private property.
Just curious.
The right to assemble is part of our First Amendment rights as US citizens--The right of a citizen to peacefully 1) parade and gather or 2) demonstrate support or opposition of public policy or 3) express one's views is guaranteed by the freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble.
