ReOccupy Minneapolis began on April 7 2012. The sites chosen were Loring Park and Peavey Plaza in Downtown Minneapolis. I took a bike ride on Saturday afternoon and was in the two areas between approximately 4:45 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.. Here is a collection of some of the messaging on display. It by no means covers all of the goals or the multifaceted concerns and aspirations being expressed through the Occupy Movement.
Statement of Unity
Passed by the General Assembly of Occupy Minneapolis on October 22nd, 2011
We are creating a global, sustainable community that values the health of the Earth and its inhabitants over corporate profits.
We are a diverse group of non-violent people and we find strength in that diversity. No one person or group speaks for all of us as a whole. We wish to see an end to the corruption of both corporations and government.
We will persist until the voices of the people overcome the corrupting influence of money.
