XL DISSENT: "The Power Is NOT In That Building! It's Out Here!"
Hundreds of people have ziptied themselves to the White House fence! the park is flooding with people, and multiple police forces are in play. The protestors are unrolling a huge oil spill. Mainstream media is everywhere, for once. Wow. Check out the live stream!
They've unrolled a massive "oil slick" and people in white suits are staging a die in in the oil pools. The mainstream media are falling all over themselves. Dozens of people are in the oil slick and behind them hundreds are zip tied to the fence in front of the White House.
There is a massive march right now led by a student-organized national group XLDissent. Over two thousand students and activists from around the country caravanned to DC for today's action. There were massive civil disobedience classes conducted last night, and recently in communities, and it is said that "civil disobedience is planned today." I think that will be in theatrical form at the White House. Park Police, DC Police and Secret Service are shadowing the march. The plan is to get to the White House and participate in good old fashioned non-violent civil disobedience. The march route is five miles long, and they are going strong.
They are arriving at the White House, and the arrest wagons are already there. A lot of them! There are double sets of barricades and hundreds of officers, horse police, even Jail Busses. There will be a rally in Lafayette Square, where people will talk, and then cross over to the White House.
