Background: (via Lujane)
there was a ((Occupy Congress)) march that started out at the Capitol, went past the Supreme Court and the halls of Congress, then to the White House (which is a pretty long walk) then back to the Capitol, so they covered everything.
In addition, I believe Friday is scheduled to be a day to occupy the Supreme Court.
