InterOccupy brings us this poignant video about the town of Freeport, Ill., which is fighting back against Bain Capiital. Mitt Romney's former company swept into their hometown, closed down the Sensata plant and sent it to China where they'll pay slave labor wages. The Sensata now workers worry they won't find jobs that support families.
InterOccupy tells us:
The people of Freeport have organized an encampment across the street from Sensata (the company being closed down) to send a message to Bain and others like them that they will not lie down. The Overpass Light Brigade paid a visit to Bainport (as the encampment is being called) to spread the word about the community’s efforts and the destruction created by vulture capitalists like Bain.
Overpass Light Brigade is an activist collaborative public art project initiated by American artists Lane Hall and Lisa Moline, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The artwork is an episodic performance originally created as part of the 2011 Wisconsin protests to raise awareness about the campaign to recall Governor Scott Walker.Here's another video that tells us more about Bain:
