Occupy Protesters to March from Wall Street to D.C.

HeadlineNov 09, 2011

Occupy Wall Street protesters are embarking on a two-week walk today from New York City to Washington, D.C. Inspired by the marches of the Civil Rights Movement, the demonstrators plan to march 20 miles a day, stopping at a number of occupations, including Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; and Newark, New Jersey. The 300-mile march will conclude on November 23, with a protest at the White House against tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Protesters remaining in New York City have purchased dozens of military-grade camping tents in preparation for the cold winter months ahead.
