OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Occupy Omaha protesters have dropped their request for an overnight camping permit at a park west of downtown.
The group was going to ask the City Council for a permit to camp at Elmwood Park. The city says that request has been removed from the council agenda.
Occupy Omaha members say they’re working on a new protest plan and expect to have one ready before the end of the week.
Three people were arrested last week when police evicted Occupy Omaha protesters from a parking lot near downtown.
The Occupy movement began in New York, decrying what protesters see as corporate greed and the growing gap between rich and poor.
