Occupy The PGA
May 23-27 (big day: Sat. May 26) - Benton Harbor, Michigan
Demonstrate in protest of land stolen by Whirlpool Corporation
“The thrust [of the county courthouse] is to physically remove and destroy families through the use of the criminal justice system. Every person they can put in jail; every person whose voting rights they can revoke with a felony conviction; every person they can cause to lose their job by putting them on probation; every person they can cause to lose the ability to pay for basic necessities through imposing ruinous court costs and probation is all part of the process. In the 1960s, it was called Negro removal. In Bosnia, it was called ethnic cleansing. It could be called genocide, the removal of the minority population for the purpose of redevelopment of the land. That’s what’s happening in Benton Harbor and the foremost leader of the resistance is Rev. Edward Pinkney.” -Atty. Hugh "Buck" Davis

BH Emergency Manager Joe Harris has refused
to issue vending licenses to city residents for the PGA

The 2012 Senior PGA Championship in Benton Harbor will be a 6 day event. BH Emergency Manager Joe Harris has refused to issue vending licenses to city residents for the PGA. Now it appears that the Levy Restaurants Golf Division will be the sole vendors using unpaid volunteers as Levy's workers for the event. The will have to (no joke) PAY in order to volunteer. No one will profit from this event. (Except Levy, big time.)
