Occupy Wichita

Democratic Socialists of America Involvement

According to a report from Wichita Democratic Socialists of America member Stuart Elliott on October 2, 2011 there was a lively group of up to fifty at Occupy Wichita . ^[1]

We circulated the Conyers petition, getting about 30 signatures. We did run into one former member of Wichita DSOC who is very interested in getting involved again!

People specifically mentioned in Elliot's report on DSA participation included Louis Goseland, (Sunflower Community Action), and Aaron Rivers, (Young Democratic Socialists), Harold Schlechtweg (SEIU Local 513), Larry Burks, Janice Bradley, and Jim Phillips, (Democratic Socialists of America)

Other speakers included William Rogers, Wichita Labor Federation, Billie Nyden, (Moveon.org), Mike Schatz (Progressivetoo.com), Dustin Bond, Dennis Romero, (Tequila Party), Emira Palacois (Sunflower Community Action).
