Occupy Wall Street plans march to Washington
The Occupy Wall Street protests may have already spread to cities across the world, but the movement’s next major migration will be easy to see if you're on the East Coast anytime soon. Protesters are taking the movement on the road — literally.Starting Wednesday, November 8, protesters in New York City’s Zuccotti Park, the central hub and starting point of the ongoing Occupy Wall Street movement, will be marching hundreds of miles from Lower Manhattan into Washington DC, stopping at smaller occupation-style demonstrations along the way.

Protesters will be playing in safe, however, and will ditch the major roadways in exchange for more pedestrian-friendly thoroughfares.

"On November 23, demonstrators intend on arriving in the nation’s capitol in time to march to the White House in protest of that day’s meeting of the Congressional Deficit Reduction Super-Committee, the bipartisan panel that will decide on whether or not to keep Obama’s extension to the Bush-era tax cuts. On their website, organizers write that keeping the cuts on the books will only benefit the richest one percent of Americans in any kind of significant way, so they are hoping that their march will “let the committee know what the 99 percent think about these cuts.”"
