		<description><![CDATA[May 17, 2012, Detroit &#8211; Free Detroit – No Consent was founded on April 4, 2012 – the day that  five City Council members voted to accept the state proposed “Financial Stability Agreement” – another variation of the “Financial Management Law”. That day marked the end of Democracy in the City of Detroit! We refuse to hand over our constitutionally sanctioned rights to the State of Michigan. Public Act 4 taxes the people; however, the people are no longer represented by the officials that were elected – taxation without representation is horrifically unconstitutional. Presently “we the people” do not have a voice regarding the management and future of Detroit. We view Pubic Act 4 as a Racist Test Case. The Consent Agreement and the Emergency Manager strategies are racist and white supremacist in effect. Public Act 4 takes away the power to govern from the duly elected Black officials, and … <a href="http://www.occupy-detroit.us/2012/05/17/free-detroit-no-consent/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The day you choose to be part of a revolution and find out the movement has come and gone past you …. and you look at what you have left, after conceding to offer so much just to continue on. At what point do you stand up? Will it be before you find your legs cut off at the knees? Or will you be content even then and wait until you no longer have legs left to stand upon? When you reach for something better will you reach soon enough that your finger tips grasp what you desire? Or will the effort be lost because your hands will have been cut off without your knowing? Perhaps even then you just sink back and say it’ll change, they will realize they removed my dreams from grasp. But then you find it isn’t just your dreams… it has moved to your needs. … <a href="http://www.occupy-detroit.us/2012/05/17/i-had-a-dream-today/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Detroit Department of Human Services is being challenged by Michigan Department of Human Services for de-designation as the administrator for Emergency Services to Detroiters through a $72 million Community Services Block Grant (CSBG). The CSBG provides funds for needy residents to receive assistance. A court case between APTE President Cecily McClelland and Dempsey Addison (from Detroit Department of Human Services) Vs Maura Corrigan (Director of Michigan Dept Human Services), Mayor Bing, and Kirk Lewis will begin at 11am Friday, May 11 on the 11th floor of the Coleman A Young Municipal Building. This case states Maura Corrigan illegally cut off CSBG funding to the City of Detroit and the Mayor approved cutting off funding without proper process on February 8, 2012. Detroit City Council did not approve of de-designation when presented March 15, nor has the public had an opportunity for hearing. Assistance provided through CSBG funding assists residents with: … <a href="http://www.occupy-detroit.us/2012/05/11/fighting-back-dept-of-human-services/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[National Day of Protest Against Bank of America Wednesday – May 9, 2012 – 4:00 P.M. 500 Griswold St., Detroit The Mayor and City Council caved in to Gov. Snyder and Wall Street by handing the City over to a Financial Advisory Board (FSA). The purpose for the FSA is to guarantee the looting of Detroit by the banks by insuring the “payment in full of the scheduled debt service requirements on all bonds, notes and municipal securities” (Public Act 4). According to Snyder’s financial review team, Detroit paid $597 million to the banks in 2010 for debt service. The City’s long-term debt to the banks is an amazing $16.9 billion ($4.9 billion is interest). The same banks that destroyed the neighborhoods of Detroit by their racist, predatory, sub-prime, criminal mortgages will be assured of getting paid from the City’s treasury. City services, city jobs, workers’ wages, benefits and pensions … <a href="http://www.occupy-detroit.us/2012/05/09/make-boa-pay-day/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent &#8220;The System in Crisis: A Teach-In for the 99%,&#8221; co-sponsored by Occupy Detroit and the Wayne State University chapter of the National Lawyer’s Guild, was a dynamic and energetic exploration of the financial crisis and its impacts on ordinary people. With nearly 150 people attending sessions throughout the day, the teach-in was a vibrant source of conversations about all that is broken about the current system and what the 99% can do about it. The day’s events kicked off with a screening of the Academy Award winning documentaryInside Job, which offers a scathing indictment of the structures of greed and corruption that led to the financial collapse of 2008. A discussion, led by Wayne State history professor Fran Shor, followed the screening. Next, University of Michigan economist Tom Weisskopf gave the keynote address, &#8220;The Current Economic Crisis and What to Do about It,&#8221; in which he offered his … <a href="http://www.occupy-detroit.us/2012/05/09/recap-the-system-in-crisis-april-19/"> Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594; </span></a>]]></description>

If weather turns bad we&#8217;ll head to 1515 Broadway, Detroit &#8211; which is two blocks away. We&#8217;ll be meeting on the &#8220;Maybury&#8221; side of the park (east) to avoid spray from the fountain. Our facilitation team would like to remind and inform those attending of the hand signals that help us keep order in the meetings. They are depicted at right. If you have a portable lawn chair we recommend bringing it with you. A blanket or exercise mat to sit on is also a great idea.]]></description>
