PHILADELPHIA — A group of protesters affiliated with Occupy Wall Street plan to elect 876 “delegates” around the country and hold a national “general assembly” in Philadelphia over the Fourth of July.

The “99% Declaration Working Group” said in a statement today that delegates would be elected in an online election in early June from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.

The group says the delegates will meet in Philadelphia to draft and ratify a “petition for a redress of grievances.”

The group plans to convene in Philadelphia during the week of July 2 and hold a news conference in front of Independence Hall on the Fourth of July.

The Occupy Wall Street movement began in New York City and spread across the country, with protesters denouncing corporate excess and economic inequality.
