Protests In Downtown Walnut Creek Set For Wednesday, Thursday Afternoons

It's 3:30 p.m. Wednesday for Occupy Walnut Creek, and 5:30 p.m. Thursday for a candlelight rally by MoveOn.

Downtown Walnut Creek will have the Wednesday-Thursday two-step of protests the next two evenings.

At a busy shopping crossroads in town, Mount Diablo Boulevard and Main Street, there will be Wall Street to Main Street protests at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday and a candlelight rally at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the southwest corner of that intersection (which we could call the Tiffany corner).


The regular Wednesday afternoon has been moved up to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday to take advantage of daylight.

The Thursday candlelight rally is part of a national Day of Action from the Rebuild the American Dream Campaign organized by MoveOn.

"Our democratic government has been replaced with a plutocracy — money rules," stated Sally Weed of Walnut Creek in a Central Contra Costa American Dream/MoveOn Council.  "Help us wake up our government before our economy completely crumbles - we're on the brink. Let's get our democracy back."

I hate sand in parks. Nice breeding area for lice, and a great place for ferrel cats to poop. IRead More can't wait for them to do the park at Arbolado.

How about you research the current ADA guidelines regarding surface materials for play areas?Read More Walnut Creek is simply acting to be in compliance. Not sure where you get the idea that wood chips are "much more dangerous". A reasonable overview of the current regulations can be found here: http://risk.utah.gov/newsletter/documents/playground_surfacing.pdf If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
