FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 11 OCT 2011

Occupy Dartmouth will hold its first demonstration on the Hanover
Green from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm EST today in solidarity with the over
100+ Occupy movements around the world, including Occupy Wall Street
and Occupy Boston.
While the location and timing of the Occupy Dartmouth demonstration
correlates with that of the 2012 Republican Presidential Debate, it
must be made abundantly clear that this is not a protest specifically
against the Republican Party. The Occupy movements feature supporters
from a wide variety of political affiliations, including Republicans,
many or all of whom are disaffected with our political process.
Anyone supporting a single candidate, party, or political ideology
does not speak for all of Occupy Dartmouth, nor for any of the Occupy
movements.
This demonstration is in part a response to the repeated violations of
the occupiers’ First Amendment rights to peaceably assemble, as
exemplified by the Boston Police at 1:30 am today, when they beat,
tackled, and arrested United States veterans who were peacefully
protesting near Boston’s South Station with an estimated 1000 others.
Today’s event was initially organized by members of Students Stand
with Staff, a non-partisan group formed to lend student support to
both non-unionized and unionized employees of Dartmouth College.
Occupy Boston, Occupy New Hampshire, Occupy Vermont – Burlington,
Occupy Rutland, Occupy Keene and Occupy Worcester are all in support.

Fantastic! Occupy Keene supports Occupy Dartmouth. Occupy Keene is in planning and will begin on Oct 15th, World wide Occupation. WE are with you in SOLIDARITY!
shouldnt it be occupy hanover not occupy dartmouth? i have a feeling the people of hanover might be a bit resentful of rich college students taking over there town. taking over the university, of course, would also be awesome.
Be careful of who you protest those college kids are your supporters. Smoke a little herb grab dads credit card by some doritos stop by EMS buy a tent and “protest”.
Tomorrow night.

Greeting from occupy wall st! Way to disrupt Bloomberg tv! WE ARE CHANGING THE CONVERSATION! WE ARE THE 99%! ALL WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF.
Is the Occupy Dartmouth/Hanover event continuing through the weekend! I’m hoping to show some support on Saturday and am looking for an event closer than the rally scheduled for Manchester.
