OccupyJax Votes to Create it's Own Declaration

Today at the OccupyJax General Assembly participants started the assembly with a moment of silence for Scott Olsen, 24, who was critically injured on Tuesday, October 25th, 2011, when he was hit in the head with a projectile thrown or shot by law enforcement officers combating protesters trying to re-enter a downtown plaza that had been cleared of an encampment earlier in the day.

Mr. Olsen, who served two tours of duty in Iraq as a Marine, suffered a fractured skull. Organizers created a card for Scott that everyone in attendance had a chance to sign and it will be sent to him on Monday.

Later the Occupy Jacksonville Assembly voted to create their own Declaration that is better suited to the Jacksonville Community instead of adopting the proposed Declaration from the Occupy Wall Street - 99 Declaration Group. 

Anyone interested in reviewing and contributing to Jacksonville's proposed Declaration is encouraged to join us Sunday, October 30th at 1 pm at the Panera on Roosevelt Ave. 4403 Roosevelt Blvd, Jacksonville, FL

If you can't make this review, there will be another review soon and will be posted here when that will take place.
