Demonstration Planned At Local Post Office

Occupy Texarkana will be holding a demonstration in solidarity with Occupy Dallas and the Occupy Wall Street movement as a whole on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. at the downtown Post Office in Texarkana. This demonstration coincides with a general strike called for by the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas to protest unfair and abusive practices by corporations on both an individual and a governmental level, and the General Assembly of Occupy Texarkana joins in issuing this call and invites all who support the movement to participate throughout the day.

On November 7th, the General Assembly of Occupy Texarkana adopted 3 core goals: Community Education regarding the movement, Support of the overall movement, including the larger protests in the area, and Action here in Texarkana. This demonstration is in keeping with all 3 of these goals. Literature will be available, and it is the hope of Occupy Texarkana to perhaps change perspectives regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement. Everyone is invited to participate, make their voices heard, or just to listen and learn what the movement is about.

Occupy Texarkana is committed to a peaceful demonstration and preemptively disavows any attempt to subjugate the message with violence or other inappropriate or illegal action. Proper permits have been obtained from both states and from the federal government.
