 Quote from the article:   The 307 students aren’t going quietly. Yesterday, 125 teens and their supporters marched four miles from the school to Roberts’ office and gave speeches, trying to rally the spectators. A school sit-in they organized over spring break may have only lasted a few hours—cops used a master key to enter that evening—but eight students were arrested, causing a mini-firestorm. “We plan to have more marches, rallies and possibly more occupations,” says science teacher Nicole Conaway, “until our demands are met.”

In Detroit, the Ferguson occupation has forced Roy-Rob-Bobb-Rogers to start pulling schools from the school closings / sales list.  We have begun to score repeated victories!  We can — AND MUST — win much more before school is done in June !!  Help us plan more actions this  Saturday!
