Charlotte, NC: Local activist group readies for big protest at DNC

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – In a small one-room office in NoDa, two 20-somethings are sending e-mails and making phones calls feverishly. The two men are in the headquarters of what will possibly be the biggest protest group at the Democratic National Convention.  

The Coalition to March on Wall Street South is an umbrella organization laying the groundwork for approximately 80 protest groups expected to be in Charlotte for the convention in early September.  Some of the groups are from different ‘Occupy’ movements across the country.

“We’re the only group here laying the groundwork for what’s going to happen,” said organizer Matt Hickson.  “We’re homegrown. I live here, I grew up here, a lot of us have.”
