Anti-Wall Street protesters hoping to commandeer a worldwide television audience to air their grievances said on Thursday they would peacefully “occupy” this year’s Rose Parade in Pasadena, California.

Calling on Occupy demonstrators from across the country to join them, organizers said they would set up encampments along the parade route and unfurl a 250-foot banner demanding an end to corporate influence on politics.

Protesters also planned to march in a massive “human float” down the Colorado Boulevard route after the Tournament of Roses parade, which this year is scheduled for Monday, January 2.
