Two of the participants in the rally and march for jobs and safe streets that Occupy New Haven, area unions, clergy and other activists organized in downtown New Haven on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2011 talk about why they took part and what they got out of it. Church Street South resident Jissette Chona brought her two young daughters to push the right to return to what gets built where they live now once they get displaced. Josh Heltke, a member of the Occupy New Haven Sustainability group talks about why he thinks the group is pushing its message across, why New Haven has avoided the types of clashes many other Occupy encampments have seen with police and why Occupy New Haven needs your empty bottles and cans to build its own solar heaters.  « Less
