Protestors arrested at U.S. Senate building

Several October 2011 anti-war and anti-corporate greed demonstrators who marched from Freedom Plaza to the Hart Senate Office Building were arrested Tuesday, according to spokespeople for the protestors. The march began with nearly 100 protesters who marched Tuesday morning “to confront Congress about its refusal to represent the people who vote for them and their incompetence in the face of economic crisis and unending war,” a news release from the group said.

According to the release, they entered the building and filled the Hart atrium on multiple levels and chanted “How Do You Fix the Deficit? End the Wars, Tax the Rich,” and “We Are the 99% percent.” They also dropped banners in the building.
