Occupy River Park
About 200 Occupy Fresno supporters were at River Park (a shopping center that has no river or park) to help build the movement for change that has emerged over the last few weeks. This action was organized by labor groups who originally planned to drop banners on overpasses along highway 41. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) warned the Central Labor Council (CLC) not to hold the banner drop, threatening arrests and liability if the distraction caused accidents. The CHP had a significant presence on highway 41 with lots of CHP patrol cars from Tulare to Shaw avenue. There were no banner drops and the CLC directed the rally to take place at Blackstone and Nees avenues.
Upcoming Occupy Fresno events:

Occupy Fresno is at Fresno’s Courthouse Park (on the south end). They hold a General Assembly every day at 6 p.m. and there have been arrests every day, shortly after midnight. For more information, go to http://occupyfresnoca.com/
Saturday, November 19 • 11 p.m.
Occupy Fresno is calling for community support - attend the General Assembly that starts at 11 p.m. on Saturday night (only). The General Assembly is normally held at 6 p.m. (Every night), but they want as many people to come as possible to support Free Speech. Occupy Fresno meets at the South end of Courthouse Park in downtown Fresno. Attorneys for the group have asked for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to stop the arrests and they hope to have good news to share at the General Assembly. A good show of support for Free Speech and the Occupy movement would be appreciated.
