Occupy Fort Collins
The Occupy Fort Collins demonstration is a part of the Occupy Movement which began on Sept. 17, 2011 with the original Occupy Wall Street demonstration in New York City.
Dan Michniewicz of Fort Collins Democratic Socialists of America reported on the origins of the Occupy Fort Collins demonstration:[3]
- "At its monthly meeting in September, the Fort Collins Democratic Socialists of America branch did the initial organizing for Occupy Fort Collins. It then turned over all decision making to the general assembly. Many of the folks who stop by the occupation are receptive to DSA's message and interested in learning more about the organization.
