This meeting, open to the public, will be held Sunday, Nov. 6th from 3-5 PM in the Parish House of St. Paul & Andrew Church, 263 West 86th Street (West End Ave.).
Marisa was arrested filming the police pepper spraying peaceful OWS protestors at Union Square on Sept. 24th. Go to YouTube (Marisa Holmes). She is 24 years old, former student at the School of Art Institute of Chicago and member of Students For a Democratic Society. Come and hear her first hand account on how OWS started and how it has blossomed into an unprecedented and historic movement challenging the worldwide economic and political system.
