March to Occupy GGP: May 19th, 2012

Saturday, May 19th, 2012, 11 AM

gather at Gwynns Falls Elementary,
2700 Gwynns Falls Parkway, Baltimore, MD 21216

On May 19th, hundreds of low-wage workers and community allies will take the fight for Fair Development one step further with the March to Occupy GGP, a 4-mile non-violent march and occupation, connecting the Baltimore where workers live, go to school, and worship to the poverty-zone where they work, the Inner Harbor.

We’ll be taking back our harbor and demanding a change to business as usual. We’re bringing the march directly to the steps of General Growth Properties and once we arrive at their steps, we will not stop there. We will march right on in and march through Harborplace mall. For a moment, we will occupy this temple of consumerism and fill the space with the possibilities of our shared dreams and demands for human rights and Fair Development. This simple act will send a resounding call to General Growth Properties that they need to put their house in order and ensure human rights for workers at their malls.

Email occupyggp@unitedworkers.org to let us know that you’ll be there on May 19th for the March to Occupy GGP!
