Occupy Dartmouth Posted on October 11, 2011 by andyk FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 11 OCT 2011 Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH Contact: [email protected]
Twitter: @OccupyDartmouth Occupy Dartmouth will hold its first demonstration on the Hanover
Green from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm EST today in solidarity with the over
100+ Occupy movements around the world, including Occupy Wall Street
and Occupy Boston. While the location and timing of the Occupy Dartmouth demonstration
correlates with that of the 2012 Republican Presidential Debate, it
must be made abundantly clear that this is not a protest specifically
against the Republican Party. The Occupy movements feature supporters
from a wide variety of political affiliations, including Republicans,
many or all of whom are disaffected with our political process.
Anyone supporting a single candidate, party, or political ideology
does not speak for all of Occupy Dartmouth, nor for any of the Occupy
movements. This demonstration is in part a response to the repeated violations of
the occupiers’ First Amendment rights to peaceably assemble, as
exemplified by the Boston Police at 1:30 am today, when they beat,
tackled, and arrested United States veterans who were peacefully
protesting near Boston’s South Station with an estimated 1000 others. Today’s event was initially organized by members of Students Stand
with Staff, a non-partisan group formed to lend student support to
both non-unionized and unionized employees of Dartmouth College.
Occupy Boston, Occupy New Hampshire, Occupy Vermont - Burlington,
Occupy Rutland, Occupy Keene and Occupy Worcester are all in support. Video, last night’s events: http://youtu.be/Iu63e7QD_5k.
