Unfortunately, there was a disturbing event during the 39th Annual Pro-Life State House Rally at the Rhode Island State House Thursday (26 JAN). A number of Occupy Providence members participated in a demonstration, organized by the Rhode Island Sexism League, that broke up the pro-life rally.
Some attendees found it ironic that members of the Occupy movement would join in the protest the day before the Diocese of Providence opened up a homeless shelter in response to one of Occupy Providence’s requests to the City of Providence.
