Next Stop: Occupy Congress, January 17

The January 17th "Call to Action" urges protestors to convene on the West Front Lawn at Capitol Hill in an effort to bring the movement's message to the doorstep of Congressional lawmakers.

Rallying against corporate greed and corruption, the so-called "99%" will arrive on Martin Luther King's birthday weekend to participate in a day of organized protests. According to the Occupy Congress website, the day's activities will include Teach-ins, an Open Mic, a Multi-Occupation General Assembly, Idea Sharing Sessions, and a DC Voting Rights Vigil.  The day will end with an "OCCUParty."

"Come to the U.S. Capitol on January 17th to protest the greatest calling of our time: A democracy in crisis," states the message accompanying a video on the site.  The video opens with the words, "You Can't Evict an Idea," referring to the eviction of OWS protestors from encampments in many U.S. cities in recent weeks.
