GLOBAL PROTESTS Occupy movement makes impact on campus, city Students attend event to raise awareness

BY KYLIE BANKS SENIOR NEWS WRITER Though rain continues to flood the streets, Occupy Miami protestors continue to occupy the Government Center, Miami- Dade County’s official headquarters locat- ed in Downtown. The Miami segment of Occupy Wall Street gathered supporters weeks before Saturday’s protest by reaching out through social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. Occupy Wall Street started in New York to protest the role of corporations in American society. Now, the Occupy Miami movement has gained a following at UM. “I was in awe of the facilitators, the diversity and the perspectives that were brought together,” graduate student Lana Schissel said. Along with six other UM students, Schissel spent Saturday night occupying the Government Center. Two weeks before the event took place, Schissel and her roommate Elizabeth Weintraub, who is also a graduate student, formed the UM Forum for Occupy Miami. “My roommate and I felt it was nec- ROBBY WAGENSEIL // The Miami Hurricane essary to start the group because we knew PROTEST: University of Miami graduate students Elizabeth Weintraub and Lana Schissel, members of the Occupy Miami we couldn’t be the only ones on this cam- group on campus, show their support at the rally on Saturday.
