INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - While AFL-CIO leaders assured Super Bowl organizers they would not try to disrupt Super Bowl activities in protest of Indians’ recently enacted right-to-work law, Occupy groups from across the state have announced plans to hold rallies and marches over the weekend.
“This isn’t an attack on the Super Bowl or those who plan to attend,” says Greg Lambert from the Occupy Nomads and Occupy Indiana. “…we have to use this opportunity to tell our story while the country has its eyes on our state.”
Saturday’s rally is planned for 5 p.m. on the South Lawn of the Indiana Statehouse. On Sunday, protesters will gather at Noon also on the South Lawn.
Organizers say Sunday’s event will be non-violent and “geared towards all audiences including fans attending the New England Patriots-New York Giants football game.
