Occupy Dallas (Hannah Allen) from Occupy Freelance Journal blog


 The Occupy Dallas protest movement, currently bunked up at Pioneer Park on Young Street downtown, had quite the week when city officials told them they needed a $1 million insurance policy in order for them to continue using the city park as their place of residency.

The lack of coverage by the mainstream media over the last few weeks has left several citizens of our fair city in the dark concerning the now global Occupy movement.

This movement was started almost a month ago at Zuccotti Park in New York City where protesters told the world they were there to Occupy Wall Street until changes were made. What Occupy Wall Street is about is complex. It is not a leftist movement. It is not a right-wing movement. It is not a socialist movement. It is not an extremist movement.
