KALAMAZOO, Mich. (via WOOD TV 8) — Protesters will gather in Kalamazoo over new regulations being considered by the city that some believe target the homeless.
The protest is being organized by a group called Occupy Kalamazoo. The group has set up camp in Bronson Park to protest the upcoming proposal that will be discussed at the city commission meeting Monday night.
