Occupy Denver regrouping at Civic Center Park

Occupy Denver states:

We will not back down from our demand to occupy, from our demand to have a kitchen serving all those in need, from our demand to have a medic tent, from our demand to offer clean and safe spaces, and from our demand to have a permanent place to create constructive solutions to the problems created by the 1%. We are asking for the ability to have a say over policies and politics that dictate our lives, to create policies and politics that offer us, the 99%, real economic justice and an end to corporate greed.

Change.org is circulating a petition here on behalf of Occupy Denver to stop the repeated arrests of peaceful demonstraters.

The police will not arrest you if the tent does not touch the ground.  More tent reflections here, here,  and here.
