City Offers New Location To Occupy Dallas

** Breaking:  the #OccupyDallas General Assembly meeting last night accepted the offer for use of this location from the city.


DALLAS, TX (KERA) - Dallas City Hall wants Occupy Dallas to move its tent-city from Pioneer Plaza, and is offering the protesters space behind City Hall. KERA's BJ Austin says the protesters appear split on whether to move.

Dallas City Hall officials say lawyers on both sides are discussing a new location for Occupy Dallas. The city wants to move the protest from Pioneer Plaza in front of the Convention Center, to an area at Canton and Akard, behind City Hall. That was the hot topic at the noon "general assembly" of the protesters.

Protester Parks Stearns suggested the group occupy both locations.
