A Note For Those 17+

October 4th, 2011 · Kevin · Announcements 2 comments - Tags: legal, occupyhouston, students

We received word today from our amazing legal team about students 17 years old and up who want to come and help support us on Thursday:

You can leave school to come to the protest and not be considered truant as long as you’re not disruptive when you leave school. That means no yelling in the halls, disrupting classes, and the like.

If you’re under 17 you’ll be skipping class, so get your parents’ permission to come! We want to see everyone stand with us and our allies on Wall Street and the rest of the world! See you at Market Square Thursday morning.
