Occupy Concord to Rally and March Saturday Afternoon
Demonstration to focus on return of veterans, according to a news release.
Occupy Concord has announced another downtown protest.
The Saturday demonstration, titled "Rally to Restore Freedom, Find Justice and Heal the Wounded," will feature a speech by Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war activist known for occupying outside of former President George Bush's Texas Ranch in 2005 after her son was killed in combat during the Iraq War in 2004.
Organizers said tomorrow's rally and march will focus on supporting "... veterans coming back from war finding themselves in the midst of foreclosure and [homelessness]."
