Movement starting to ‘Occupy’ Morrison County
Robin Hensel agreed with what the Occupy Wall Street movement stood for when it started in the fall of 2011, but wasn’t able to take part in the large gatherings.
So she brought the movement to her home in Southeast Little Falls. “I’m occupying my front space,” she said.
However, the signs she placed in her yard were contradictory to what the city’s ordinance allowed and she was asked to remove them. She has one sign in her yard, but the majority of the signs are now on her van. Signs that call for social and economic justice. See more in Editor Terry Lehrke’s Morrison County Record story.
