Revolution 99 Update: Occupy D.C. to protest CPAC
Submitted by joeeddy
Occupy Washington D.C. plans to protest the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and labeled the event a “gathering of bigots, media mouthpieces, corrupt politicians and their one percent elite puppet masters.” Republican presidential candidates are expected to attend, as well as notable members of the Congress.
“CPAC will parade and attempt to perpetuate the radical right wing’s imperialist ideologies with keynote speakers, movies and banquets dedicated to pursuing its racist, sexist, patriarchal and exploitative agenda,” the movement said on its website.
Occupy protesters will be joined by the AFL-CIO, SEIU, National Nurses United and the Metro Labor Council. The community reacts to the upcoming Occupy protest:
