[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2155406, member: 56035"] The sustained, daily civil disobedience at the Capitol by demonstrators denouncing the capture of our political system by corporate money is part of one of the largest and most important movements for social justice since the Occupy uprising. Join it. Six hundred of the protesters have been arrested, and I was among [URL='https://revolution-news.com/rosario-dawson-100-democracy-spring-protesters-arrested-u-s-capitol/']100 arrested Friday[/URL]. The protesters, organized by [URL='http://www.democracyspring.org/']Democracy Spring[/URL], have converged on Washington from across the country. Young. Old. Black. White. Brown. Native American. Asian. Christian. Jew. Muslim. Buddhist. Atheist. From the left. From the right. Some marched for 10 days along a 160-mile route from Philadelphia to Washington. ...The hundreds of arrests this past week have been largely ignored by a corporate media whose lobbyists, along with those of other corporations, are a familiar presence on Capitol Hill. [B]The mass media’s blackout of the largest number of arrests at the Capitol in decades[/B] is one of innumerable examples of our corporate coup d’état.
