Occupiers on the Move

The protesters of the Occupy Wall Street movement are taking a two week journey to travel by foot to Washington D.C. They plan to stay at volunteering locations during the night, if not camping. They will pass through states such as Pennsylvania , Delaware and Maryland. They plan to be in the Capitol city by 11/23. They want to arrive by this date so that their presence will influence a congressional committee that is deciding whether or not to keep Bush tax cuts. The organization, who protest against corporate greed, says that the cuts only benefit the rich.
