Occupy Fort Lauderdale Told to Leave Bubier Park

Source: Broward Palm Beach New Times

After their demonstration on Saturday, protesters with the Occupy Fort Lauderdale movement decided to do just that: occupy. The site they chose was Bubier Park, at Las Olas Boulevard and Andrews Avenue.

A few people stayed the night on Saturday, and donations and support kept coming in through yesterday. On Sunday, organizers say, Fort Lauderdale police told them they wouldn't be allowed to stay over.

An attorney who has been working with the movement contacted the park's owner, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), according to organizer Adam Salater. They agreed to let the protesters stay with a few preconditions.

But now, he says, they've changed their mind, telling the occupiers to leave.
An emergency assembly is scheduled in the park for 7:30 this evening.
