TIME MAGAZINE: "(Los Angeles) passed a resolution voicing support for the (Occupy L.A.) movement. (Organizer Matt) Rolufs was thrilled when city officials said that Occupy Los Angeles had inspired them to move forward on a policy initiative to demand accountability from big banks. While protesters in other cities have battled with the police, Los Angeles is letting around 700 people spend the night on city hall's lawn even though it's against the law. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa even handed out ponchos to campers during a rainstorm. But the city council went even further in its resolution by urging implementation of a proposal known as the Responsible Banking program because it would address some of the protesters' concerns. 'Isn't that great?' says Rolufs, 38, a software engineer who drives 40 miles from work to Occupy Los Angeles to run the committee every day. 'The people came together and raised their pitchforks in the air, and as a result we're the impetus for change."
