Pro-Democracy Movement Rises Against 'Disaster Capitalism' in Detroit | Common Dreams
"pro-democracy activists in Detroit have no intention of rolling over and playing dead for Kevyn Orr, the city's new 'emergency manager' appointed by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who will begin his contract to run the city as a one-person government on Monday.
