A heroic group of people is marching 230 miles from Wall Street to
Washington. Started by a few people at the original occupation in New York
City, this group of 50 (and growing) is calling on Congress to stand with
the 99%, not the 1%.

The march departed Zucotti Park in NYC on Nov 10. They arrive Tuesday
11/22, a day before the Super Committee was slated to vote. They have
marched through the cold and rain every day, all day, enduring rain and
freezing weather, bleeding blisters, and aching bodies. They literally put
their bodies on the line to draw the connection between Wall Street and
Washington.

*1) Last Leg of the March: meet at Rhode Island Ave Metro at 10am *
There is shelter from the rain while folks gather, and parking for those
who would drive in.

*2) Press Conference at noon* at Occupy DC, McPherson Square (15th and K NW)
There will be a brief General Assembly at noon, followed by a press
conference. Be there to celebrate the heroes' challenging, inspiring, and
powerfully symbolic journey. And to call on Congress to stand with the 99%,
not the 1%.

*3) March continues to the Capitol,* where they will set up a *temporary
occupation on the national mall *across from the reflecting pool*.* Note
that on the way to the Capitol, they will stop briefly along the way for a
rally of sorts at the other occupation at Freedom Plaza (13th and
Pennsylvania Ave NW). Approximate 2pm arrival to National Mall. 7pm General
Assembly to talk about the issues.

*Note: This call to action comes from Rebuild the Dream and MoveOn.org, two
among many allies providing support for the march and standing in
solidarity with the march. We are in good communication and coordination
with the marchers, but we do not speak for them. They speak for themselves
and are organized as a mobile Occupation with an independent General
Assembly process.*
