Denied Permit

On 11-3 Occupy Delaware was denied a permit to use H. Fletcher Brown Park as a permanent Occupation location. Here's the denial letter (click the underlined to view).

The response to this?-  


After some outrage from the group, the ACLU stepping in to help and with a state government who is trying to avoid any standoffs, we were granted a temporary permit to use H. Fletcher Brown for the weekend. The Governor, Jack Markell, has offered us a different location which has more amenities, but is also a little more isolated than many in the group would like. The alternate location, Brandywine Park is 1 block away, and offers firmer, flatter grounds, grills, porta-johns and a few other things that could be utilized by the group. Decision to stay or more will be decided today at 3pm by the General Assembly in H. Fletcher Brown Park.
