Occupy Fairbanks protesters say they plan to continue their Wall Street protest into the spring.
The decision comes after the borough had their chemical toilet removed from Veteran's Memorial Park last month.
It happened after the group clashed repeatedly with the borough over camping in the park.
Like the national Wall Street group the Fairbanks protesters cite a wide range of reasons for devoting dozens of hours in very
cold conditions to keep the protest alive and visible.
Some common themes are concerns about income inequality and civil liberties.

Contact the OF group at facebook or go to their camping area, offer gift cards from local grocery stores, fresh water, warm clothing, winter camping gear, etc. ASK THEM IF YOU CAN HELP AND HOW! They're doing it for ... YOU and ME! :-D
