Occupy Detroit supporters shut down 2nd Avenue bridge in Detroit





DETROIT (WXYZ) - Hundreds of people have converged on the 2nd Avenue Bridge near I-94 in an attempt to shut down traffic and call attention to the need for good jobs in Detroit.

The group is being led by a number of local ministers and members of the group Good Job Now. The protest is also in support of the Occupy movement's National Day of Action.

The National Day of Action includes protests and other activities around the country.

Among the ministers taking part is the Rev. D. Alexander Bullock of Greater St. Matthews Church. He is joined by ministers Charles Williams, Anthony Johnson, William Revely, Maurice Rudds and Cheryl Williams. ............(more)

1. While watching the Arab revolutions
I was struck by the grace and humanity and power of moderate Muslims. I wondered where our moderate Christians were, while moderate Muslims were busy overthrowing dictators.

It is humbling and good to see that now moderate Christians are stepping up and making their voices heard in our attempt to overthrow our dictators.
