Occupy DC is planning to crash a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraising reception Thursday evening.
“This elitist event is indicative of how the Democrats represent a major part of our government’s failure to represent 99% of its citizenry,” a statement from the movement reads. “The party is part and parcel of a government in which about half of Congressional members and most major presidential candidates are 1%ers — a government of the 1%, by the 1% and for the 1%.”
The statement notes that the reception is charging $5,000-$75,000 per plate.
The direct action comes as Occupy DC enters its second month.
