A number of activities are planned for each day of the Occupy The Midwest Conference which began Thursday, August 23 and runs through Sunday, August 26. Click here for the full schedule off the Occupy The Midwest website.
Friday's activities included a Free Detroit No Consent session on "Occupy Local Government", which had a few of our members (Valerie, Keith, Stephen, Cecily, and Chris) speaking with the assembled audience at the conference. There were a lot of questions and discussion about Detroit and details of activities that were covered.
