MoveOn.org, in partnership with other groups, has announced a public demonstration, scheduled for 5:30 pm on Tuesday.

From the event website:

Come join us Tuesday, March 15th in support of the Nationwide Defend the Dream event. WE MUST mobilize thousands of people again for this national day of action before the March 18 budget deadline. It is crucial the nationwide momentum keep building for this fight which was begun by the brave people in Madison, WI. It is time for all of The People to STAND UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN!!! Life, Liberty, and Freedom.

We cannot depend on the progressive fighters in Congress to do it all. They need to hear our voices and me must be Loud and Clear. It is time for “We The People” to STAND UP and FIGHT for the American Dream before it is destroyed by political extremists.

Please take an hour of your time to join us in Solidarity to save the middle class. Our future depends upon our voices being heard.

In the meantime, Occupy Monroe Park has launched a new website with their demands.
