Dozens of Occupy protesters marched in Washington, D.C. on Thursday to protest a Democratic Party fundraiser for the 2012 campaign. Chanting “We are the 99 percent,” protesters criticized the Democratic Party for its ties to Wall Street.

Protester: “We are here to show that the Occupy movement is nonpartisan. As a matter of fact, homeboy just said it perfectly: the Democrats are not going to save us, we are going to save ourselves. The Democrats have just a hand in this as the Republicans do. As a matter of fact, our entire political process is mired in a myriad of corporate interests, and we know it. The Democrats just like to play it off like they’re a party for the people, but they’re really not. They’re playing along with it, too, and we know that.”
