Carlos QC's video: Occupy DC

October 2011 marks the beginning of popular protests all across the United States. In Washington, DC, hundreds of people have come to the city to join two new social movements: Occupy DC and Stop The Machine. Occupy DC is one of over 1,100 protests created nationwide in support of Occupy Wall Street. The DC protest is about ending the influence of corporations in DC politics, it started last October 1st. at Mc Pherson Square in downtown, next to K Street NW, the most common address for corrupted lobbyists and political gamblers that have taken over the U.S. democracy. Stop The Machine is mostly an anti-war movement, anti-corporatism and corruption, they are camping at Freedom Plaza (corner of 14th St. NW and Pennsylvania Ave. NW) since last October 6th. They have joined efforts with Occupy DC and Occupy Wall Street, but maintain their independence. This is a VIDEO I recorded this past Saturday October 8th. Meet the people who are protesting in Washington, DC.
