After police clash last night, today's Burlington protests quiet
Burlington, VT, Jul 30, 2012 — Burlington streets remained mostly quiet and peaceful Monday after the weekend's large protests ended with a clash between demonstrators and police.
Members of the Innu First nation in Quebec held a press conference Monday morning in front of the Hilton to voice their opposition to development by HydroQuebec on their ancestral lands.
And approximately 50 protestors gathered in Battery Park for a peaceful Occupy New England event that featured political theater by Vermont troupe Bread and Puppet.
That performance featured a banjo player and actors dressed as sheep.
Actors said they planned to picket outside Citizens Bank Monday afternoon. They say they’ve also planned an evening demonstration at the waterfront.
