DESCRIPTION:
10/15/11 - Burlington, VT. The legendary Woody Guthrie's granddaughter Sarah Lee Guthrie and her husband Johnny Irion joined hundreds upon hundreds of concerned Vermont citizens spoke out in support of the month long Occupy Wall Street protest today.

Last Sunday, concerned Vermonters met and marched in support of the occupation of Wall Street in order to show our solidarity and object to the increasingly brutal tactics being used by the police. At that time, we decided to continue to meet and rally each Sunday until the occupation ends, and we invite you to join us.
The hundreds upon hundreds of Vermonters present drew connections to local economic justice campaigns: UVM workers struggling to win fair contracts will former President Dan Fogel gets a $660,000 golden parachute; The Vermont Workers Center's Put People First campaign; the efforts of 11,000 Early Childhood Educators to win fair pay; and the efforts to stop Wisconsin like financial slash and burn policies from taking root in the Statehouse and Burlington City Hall.
