"Topic Text": "DENVER - Occupy Denver planned to hold a dance and march to mark the one year
anniversary of the Occupy movement's start in New York. On Monday, Occupy supporters planned what
they called a foreclosure dance outside the Wells Fargo bank on the 16th Street Mall in Denver
Supporters were invited to join in from noon to the close of business. Protesters then planned to
march to Civic Center Park for what they called an after-party event from 6 to 11 p.m. Despite
clashes with police last year, the Colorado State Patrol and Denver Police said they did not plan to
add an extra staff at the park Monday night. While the Occupy Denver movement has not been as visible
lately, members say they're still very busy. It's becoming more of an organized entity, said Corrine
Fowler. They're meeting weekly, they have teach-ins on many different social justice issues, they
have a number of different committees, they're fundraising. Just because you don't see them pounding
the pavement demanding change, they're in there working on it, Fowler explained.",

"Topic Text": "The Occupy Denver movement began about 10 days after the New York protests began. By
October 2011, hundreds were attending marches and protests in Denver's Civic Center Park, 16th Street
Mall and in between. A few days later, a make-shift camp appeared across from the state Capitol
[across from the state Capitol]. By October 12, the camp in Veteran's Park had grown to more than 80
tents. After the governor ordered the park closed, protesters and officers clashed on October 14 when
officers moved in to remove the tents. Two dozen people were arrested. The protests continued
throughout the winter with a handful of members of Occupy Denver living on the sidewalk next to Civic
Center Park on Broadway between Colfax and 14th avenues. Then in March, the area had to be cleared
out after one of the inhabitants told authorities he had scabies. In May, the city of Denver banned
unauthorized camping in the city.",
