Unemployed protesters stage sit-ins in dozens of lawmaker offices - The Hill
The protests, organized by activist groups including OurDC and Moveon.org, will target 99 lawmakers’ offices by the end of the day, according to event spokesman Mike Uehlein.
“These folks have traveled from across the country,” he told The Hill, noting that many of the protesters were unemployed. “They’re calling on their congressional leaders to take actions on the jobs crisis.”…
When asked if more protesters were willing to be arrested for their cause, Uehlein said, “We just hope it doesn’t come down to that.”
