RALEIGH -- As Occupy Wall Street, a so-called “leaderless resistance movement,” goes into its third week of protests and marches nationally, a group in Raleigh plans to meet Sunday to start their own show of discontent.

The local effort, Occupy Raleigh, has put a call out on Facebook for people to gather in Moore Square from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday to stand with protesters occupying Wall Street in New York and other cities across the country.

1. and btw, Congressman Brad Miller will be there

around 7 PM, if anyone wants to discuss these issues with him.

Brad's been a champion of economic justice (particularly for minorities) since he was elected in 2002, going after the subprime and other predatory lending practices that have targeted minorities in this state, and he's suffered the ire of the banking lobbying interests as a result.

Please chime in and keep this k&r'd so we can generate a good turnout.
