Occupy DC – Day of Action

This past wednesday was far and away the most significant action in the DC OWS movement to date. Thousands from around the country came to march all over DC. Roads were blocked, cops were everywhere, and there was a distinct feeling that all present were apart of something historical.

Non-stop rain did not seem to slow anyone down. I was there from the start at around 10:30 to the last action which ended around 9:30 pm on the steps of the supreme court (I will post those photos later.) If nothing else, the operatives in this movement are tireless and dont seem bothered by a little rain and cold.

Hope that shows in the photos.

I don’t think this will be enough to slow down the Occupiers.

You can see the Washington Post story on the event here.
