For years, industrial sites that once fueled the city’s economy have sat idle and deteriorating in and around residential areas. Now, the brownfields are presenting an opportunity for residents to re-invent their neighborhoods.
The police have been closing down Occupy Portland, Occupy St. Louis, and Occupy Denver. Many protesters were arrested and many were injured by “robust” police action.
I managed to get myself down to Washington, DC, on Oct. 6 for the beginning of the Occupy DC action which is similar to the Occupy Wall Street action that was planned at about the same time.
I am pleased to announce that the Muslims for Life project to collect 10,000 units of blood in honor of those who lost their lives in 9/11 has met that goal.
