GOP Set to Hand Florida’s Prisons to Corporate America

Occupy Florida at the State Capitol



On January 10, 2012 Occupations from across the state of Florida assembled in Tallahassee for the first day of the Legislative Session. We marched from Occupy Tallahassee's home base at the Gaines Street Commons, then proceeded to enter the capitol. We marched through the Senate and House offices and then waited on the 4th floor outside the doors of the House chamber, where Governor Rick Scott eventually gave his State of the State address.

Martin Luther King - I Have A Dream Speech - August 28, 1963



I Have a Dream Speech
Martin Luther King's Address at March on Washington
August 28, 1963. Washington, D.C.

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
