Occupy Chicago Determined to Secure Home Base in Grant Park

CHICAGO–(ENEWSPF)–October 21, 2011.  This Saturday, October 22nd, on the 29th day of the occupation of Chicago’s financial district, Occupy Chicago says they will move into their new home base at The Bowman statue in Grant Park. A march beginning at 7:00pm, at Jackson and LaSalle, will head to Michigan and Congress, where Occupy Chicago will set up a permanent community, in the hope of creating a space where constructive debate and real democracy is possible. Last week, 175 Occupy Chicago demonstrators were arrested after putting up tents in the same location. Those arrested include union members from CTU, the Teamsters, UNITE HERE, and SEIU.
