Occupy Naperville March Saturday

The group Occupy Naperville has planned a gathering, assembly, and march for this Saturday, November 12, 2011 .  From the Occupy Naperville website, more details on the march:

"will assemble in peaceful solidarity of the Occupy Wall Street movement, starting at 10am in front of the PNC Bank at the NE corner of Ogden Ave. and Washington St. We then arrive at the Riverwalk Amphitheatre and began our General Assembly (GA). We will than march back to Ogden and Washington; the march will conclude at 1 p.m. We encourage that all protesters bring signs, American Flags, musical pieces, chants, and other pieces of artwork in support of the movement. Don't forget to dress warmly for this event. For those who cannot march: we will arrange drivers to transport elderly, injured, or disabled protesters to and from the GA. Please speak with Evelyn, Zack, or Steve if you wish to take advantage of this option. As a reminder, this is a peaceful assembly. No violent language or actions will be tolerated! For questions, please contact us at occupynaperville@gmail.com."
