Sunday October 30th 2011 10:00 Reflection/Talking Circle 12:00 Occupy Hill Park

OccupyHelana is a nonviolent movement for accountability in the United States government. email: occupyhelena@gmail.com . We gather in solidarity with the ongoing protest in New York City, Occupy Wall Street, and the growing number of cities whose people will no longer sit back watching corporate and special interests run their government. We are citizens of the United States, and this country is ours. Our government is divided. We, the people, are united. We are the 99%.
