Got the following press release from Alliant Action. It's a group that, for more than a decade, has been holding demonstrations and vigils every Wednesday at the headquarters of ATK-- an aerospace and defense company. That company recently relocated to Eden Prairie, as did Alliant Action.

This is a pretty laid-back group. They're good about giving a heads-up to local police about their activities.

Typically, the group meets every Wednesday morning for a vigil outside the headquarters of ATK, Every so often, they hold larger demonstrations. Here's Eden Prairie City Manager Scott Neal's take on one of those demonstrations:

Here's the release from Alliant Action: 

Celebrate the 139th Birthday of Mahatma Gandhi and the Power of Nonviolent Dialogue

WHEN: Thursday, October 2

WHERE: 7480 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie

TIME: 4:30 PM (note afternoon time)

"What better way to celebrate the life of one dedicated to the power of nonviolence but to be a witness outside the headquarters of Minnesota's largest military contractor, Alliant Techsystems. There is another way, another path our country and the world can walk - the path of nonviolence. Join us outside ATK as we honor a man and his ideas, not as an alternative to violent solutions but as the process, the path.

We will celebrate with song, ceremony, cake and dialogue. Perhaps with ATK."
