Who's Plaza? The People's Plaza! Calling all OccupyMinnesotans!!
The People's Plaza is our Plaza - a place for us to gather, to organize and to voice our demands for a society that puts people over profits. On the 2 month anniversary of OccupyMN, we urge all who have been a part of the occupation by being at the people's plaza for hours or days or months to gather at the people's plaza again as we reclaim our space and continue our fight for equality and justice!

The County has tried everything they can think of to take the Plaza from us - seizing our tents, tarps and blankets, banning dozens of individual occupiers with trespass notices, and a constant campaign of harassment and threats. Just this week, the most recent raid by County security took away blankets, tarps, signs and even food, as a handful of occupiers slept on the Plaza, knowing that many were away at meetings or visiting Occupy DC.
But we refuse to be deterred, we refuse to be silenced! The County can steal our belongings but they cannot evict our demand for justice!
JOIN US to make new signs with strong messages to represent our movement, and winterize them. Then gather with us to re-claim and beautify the People's Plaza, and ensure that our voices are not silenced! We will also welcome our fellow occupiers who will be just getting back from DC!
After the gathering we will be having a meeting at the Plaza ( probably in the Skyway) re: OccupyMN Winter Support at the People's Plaza, keeping the momentum going, organizing events that express our concerns about the economic and social inequalities.
