Occupy Delaware takes tent victory to Saturday rally

Now that Occupy Delaware won the right to set up tents on Spencer Plaza the group is calling for a rally there on Saturday.

The ACLU challenged the city of Wilmington’s claim that tents would create a security concern and that the city had the right to charge a fee for its use.

Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock ruled against the city on both counts.  The city of Wilmington then negotiated a settlement, which allowed for tents on a portion of the property.  It also left right of way lanes through the plaza.  The judge did require a $200 unsecured bond.

Now some members of the group are calling for a march through Wilmington on Saturday.  It was a week ago that Occupy Delaware started its first march, which ended in an overnight camp out at the state owned Fletcher Brown Park.
