According to the Fresno Bee, 400 activists hit River Park in solidarity with the National Occupy Wall street movement.
This action was organized by labor groups who originally planned to drop banners on overpasses along highway 41. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) warned the Central Labor Council (CLC) not to hold the banner drop, threatening arrests and liability if the distraction caused accidents. The CHP had a significant presence on highway 41 with lots of CHP patrol cars from Tulare to Shaw avenue. There were no banner drops and the CLC directed the rally to take place at Blackstone and Nees avenues.
