The Washington Post early this p.m. published on its website what looks like a decent story on this protest, which started just this morning.
A couple of hundred social justice protesters launched an “occupation” of Freedom Plaza Thursday, the area’s first major demonstration against rising inequality since the Occupy Wall Street movement began last month in New York and spread around the country...
Thought I'd throw this out there since it may to be the first local MSM coverage. I'm not downtown, but a friend was going to be.
The Post has photos and some good quotes from particpants. The story added:
The four-day occupation of Freedom Plaza will include Thursday’s rally, a protest march to the nearby U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a candlelight vigil in the evening. Another protest is planned for Friday at the Ronald Reagan Building against the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline planned to stretch from Canada to Texas.
After about 4 weeks of rain, luckily it is good weather for those outside in it.
