OWS Moves in with SEIU
Occupy DC's base camp in McPherson Square morphed over the past nine months from a few dozen protesters in sleeping bags to a virtual tent city. But over the past few weeks, one of the most enduring encampments of the national anti-Wall Street movement has all but disappeared.A library tent and a few tarps are all that remain of the ongoing vigil, and Occupiers who once spent their days in McPherson Square at the corner of 15th and K streets are mostly gone. Many of those who remain now meet in the offices that a labor union, the Service Employees International Union, rented for them a few blocks away. "There's a lot more drunks that hang out there," said protester Travis Schoff. "We don't really go there, especially at night." McPherson Park or the SEIU union hall? Posted by: Bobby 2012-06-05 |
