L.A.'s Rocket Pizza Delivers Pies to Occupy L.A. Protestors

As hundreds of peaceful Occupy L.A. protestors welcome day three of the grassroots movement, their stomachs refrain from grumbling thanks to one word: pizza. Crooks and Liars, a widely-read liberal blog, added a PayPal button fundraiser on their site and has since raised $8,600 from 300 donors to feed the open mouths of Occupy protestors.

Crooks and Liars scours cities where the Occupy revolution is transpiring for local pizzerias that will support occupiers via solidarity pizza delivery. Rocket Pizza Lounge in L.A. has stepped up to the pie and delivered to activists at City Hall. “As long as people are out there sticking up for the 99 percent, I will be finding local pizzerias that deliver,” says Crooks and Liars Managing Editor Tina Dupuy.

Other participating eateries include Al Capone's in Boston, Escape from New York Pizza in San Francisco and Liberatos Pizza in New York.

Occupy L.A. protestors will continue their revolution with the following demands at the forefront of their mission.

We want the change we were promised and never received. We want a government that actually works for the people. We want a SEPARATION OF CORPORATIONS AND STATE in the exact same way as we have a separation of church and state. We want to STOP the unjust oppression before it is too late, and it will soon be too late.

"We are leaderless. We are nonviolent. We will not be silent." These three sentences, as printed on the event flier, highlight their activism, as do photos of day one in L.A.

In other Occupy L.A. food news, Oh My! Bakery delivered vegan cupcakes to the revolutionaries today.
