Independent from the other two Columbia events, a smaller rally was held by the Mid-Missouri Anti-Capitalist Alliance on Friday night. The event was sponsored by several groups, including the Mid-Missouri Green Party, the Midwestern Anarchist Federation, Occupy CoMo and the Heartland Prairies Tar Sands Resistance. The rally’s description said that the goal of the event was to “encourage resistance and mobilization for a dramatically different planet based on human need, cooperation, and solidarity.”
