Occupy Wall Street Protest Spreads
Progressive groups like Campaign for America’s Future and MoveOn.org are throwing their considerable weight behind the Occupy Wall Street protests, and even organizing similar events in Washington, D.C., the Washington Post reports. Campaign for America’s Future will host a march on Capital Hill to protest the role of corporate and lobbying dollars in politics. “Occupy K Street is starting … to send the same message to corporate lobbyists that’s being sent to Congress and Wall Street,” one of the march’s organizers told reporters. “It’s a beautiful moment of convergence — versus Wall Street, versus cuts, for our future.” This and other news of the day in our Threat Assessment photo gallery.
