But even before an idea is presented and adopted as 'official,' Occupiers proceed with independent actions--and participate in actions sponsored by affiliated groups.

Recently, I received a notice about an action in L.A. that was not backed by OLA. Just before the event, the GA consensus approved it, and it became an 'official' OLA action.

Even in our local Occupys, we have to deal with delays, bureaucracy and red tape.
