The Occupy Kansas City movement has also been alive and well this past month, holding marches, information meetings, and camping out by the Kansas City Federal Reserve. The occupiers have been making their voices heard all over Kansas City – whether it’s handing out fliers during rush hour or making a stand at the Kansas City Federal Reserve. This movement is picking up strong momentum and media coverage, and many teachers, unemployed workers, retirees, students, and concerned citizens participated in the Occupy KC movement.

“It was heartening to see hundreds of Kansas Citians coming together to demand jobs, justice and fairness in the economy. For too long Wall Street and Big Banks have gone unchecked,” said Alexandra Townsend of AFSCME Council 72. “We look forward to continuing to stand and march in solidarity with Occupy Kansas City.”

The Occupy Kansas City movement will continue to hold events and meetings in Kansas City – their next big march will be on October 30, 2011 to Kansas City, Missouri City Hall (414 E. 12th Street, KCMO 64106).
