Occupy the Courts
A Day of Action Against "Citizens United"
Friday, January 20, 2012
On Friday, January 20 people throught our entire nation will take action at
court houses in protest of the infamous "Citizens United v. FEC" court case.
This action will take place on the second aniversary of the case. This decision
gave corporations further power to influence elections with their money.
The message of the action is both simple and true:
Corporations are NOT people! Money is NOT speech!

MO 63102
Start time: 10:00 am (starting at St. Louis City Hall and then moving at

Rally at 10:00am in front of St. Louis City Hall...Then at 10:45am march to
Thomas F. Eagleton Federal Courthouse for one day occupation, speeches, info
tables and collection of petition signatures. Calling on all greater St. Louis
