This is what Democracy looks like

Another Occupy Detroit photo post.  I promise I'll post about something else sometime soon.  These are all from the Occupy Detroit Labor Solidarity march.  We started at the Labor monument in Hart Plaza and then marched down for a rally at Grand Circus Park.  Estimates ranged from 500 to 4000.  My guess would be close to 1000.

Children are part of the 99% too

Getting ready to march by rallying at Hart Plaza.

The big Labor arch thing

Probably over half of labor folks were from the UAW.  Also lots of folks from AFL-CIO and Steel Workers.  Also saw teachers and letter carriers.  Probably more that weren't wearing as obvious of insignia.

About half the group is in front of me crossing the street in this picture.

Spirit of Detroit.  As we passed a loud speaker said in this very robotic voice "Please Step Away from the Statue"

Babies are part of the 99% too.

Restore the Middle Class

Arriving at Grand Circus Park.  Once again the crowd you're seeing here is only about half.

Lots of speeches made.  This woman had the power for her and her daughter cutoff by DTE for 14 days.  It was DTE's mistake and they figured it out after 3 days but it took them the rest of the time just to get around to turning it back on.

I loved this sign.
