WHITEWATER -- Three University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student groups are planning an "Occupy Whitewater" encampment beginning Thursday on the university's library mall.

Organizers expect State Sen. Jon Erpenbach, Rep. Peter Barca and Rep. Andy Jorgenson to speak.

Here's the event news release:
 
On Thurs. Nov. 17 to 18th, the American Dream movement, along with three University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student groups, including Forward Whitewater, the Peace Group, and the College Dems, will be sponsoring an Occupy Whitewater event the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s South Library Mall, just off Main Street, (between Hyer Hall, the Anderson Library, and the University Center) (800 W. Main Street, Whitewater). We are the 99%, and we will recall Walker and other corporate-owned politicians who have forgotten to do the will of the people.

• We’ll have a booth to sign petitions to Recall Walker.

• There will be a teach-in starting at 3 p.m.

• The rally will begin at 5:15 p.m., with Representative Andy Jorgensen, Representative Peter Barca, and Senator Erpenbach stopping by.

• At 6:30pm we will march as a group (or you can drive) to UW-Whitewater’s Hyland Hall (Room 1000, Timmerman Auditorium), where Erpenbach will be speaking at 7 p.m.

• After the talk, please return to the UWW South Library Mall for hot chocolate and more protest fun.

• If you wish to stay overnight, tents can be set up after 2 p.m. We’re hopeful that a significant group will stay overnight in solidarity with the international Occupy Movement. Even if you don’t stay overnight, please come and join the rally.
