OWS protests NDAA
Published Jan 12, 2012 10:56 PM
Some 120 Occupy movement activists, progressives and legal rights organizations held a series of actions on Jan. 3 in New York’s midtown to protest the National Defense Appropriations Act that President Barack Obama signed into law Dec. 31. The protests focused on that part of the law allowing the government to seize and hold anyone accused of “terrorism” for an undetermined time under military control. After a news conference at the 42nd Street library, the demonstrators targeted the offices of U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer. Then they held an open mic meeting in Grand Central Terminal, where police arrested protester Lauren Digioia. See http://tinyurl.com/6tsmmdc.
