#OccupyTheHighway #Nov7: New York City #ows – Washington D.C. #OccupyDC March
“On November 7th, 2011, a small group of Occupy Wall Street protesters set off on an interstate march from New York to Washington D.C. in an attempt to stop the legislation of tax cuts which they say benefit the richest Americans. During the 20 miles-a-day journey en route to the nation’s capital, the marching group will pass through other occupations in the cities along the east coast, including Occupy Baltimore, Occupy Philadelphia and Occupy Wilmington among others.
Dubbed “Occupy the Highway,” the idea of marching from New York to Washington D.C. has been circulating within the protest circles since the first week of protests, according to the protesters. The plan was finally organized in early November to coincide with the Congressional deficit reduction meeting to be held on November 23rd. The Wordpress blog[58] and the official Twitter feed @NYCmarch2DC[59] were launched on November 5th and 7th respectively to provide the latest news and updates. The stories about the march has been also picked up by major news outlets and syndicated through affiliated Occupy movement websites as well, including OccupyWallStreet.org.”~Knowyourmeme
