More information and opportunities to get involved with Occupy New Haven here

From the Yale Working Group of Occupy New Haven:

“A march has been planned for Saturday the 5th at noon on the downtown
New Haven Green. A march will proceed, symbolically up Wall Street,
turning onto Church Street in front of the Banks, and pausing at City
Hall where speakers will share their message.

We will be marching to show solidarity with the message of getting
money out of politics. The theme of the march will be “governing under
the influence” and participants should artfully interpret this as they
may.

At 8pm participants will be attending the Hip Hop show “Hip Hop
Against Police Brutality” at 37 Howe Street.
