Stop Denying Service and Bathroom Access to Occupy Wall Street Protesters

The Issue

The Occupy Wall Street protest movement is a peaceful, nonviolent action by everyday people who wish to express their anger about the injustice and growing inequality that mar our society (along with many other grievances). It follows in the best traditions of democratic expression, and it's protected by the First Amendment right of assembly. Local businesses should not be allowed to discriminate against the protesters -- and yet that's exactly what the nearby Burger King decided to do when it refused to sell coffee to protesters and called police to have them removed from the premises. Tell Burger King such actions are unacceptable! Demand an apology and change of course, and consider a boycott unless they comply!
