Occupy Detroit plans march today

Posted on October 14, 2011 by TRP

  Protesters are gearing up for a march and occupation of Detroit today, which could last for 60 days.The Occupy Detroit group — inspired by the protests on Wall Street seeking social, political and economic change — plans to meet at 4 p.m. today at the Spirit of Detroit statute on Woodward. The group will march to Grand Circus Park at 6 p.m. and then occupy the area with sit-ins, pickets and other forms of protest.Among those who plan to participate is Darlene Westfall, a Detroit Public Schools special education teacher.”Ive been teaching for 30 years and I have been considering getting another job because I cant make ends meet,” said Westfall, a Westland resident. “I am getting the same salary I got in the mid-90s. Something is not right.”On Thursday, Mayor Dave Bing and Police Chief Ralph L. Godbee Jr. issued a statement saying, “We are working to ensure that all citizens are able to assemble and express themselves peacefully and in accordance with the law.” via Metro and State | Occupy Detroit plans march today | The Detroit News.
