We’re out here at New Jersey and Independence, where we took over the intersection.The six teams split into two groups, one taking the intersection closest to the Senate side, and the group that I am in taking over on the House side. Quicker than you could say Free Our People, the cops were on us, the warnings were issued, and the arrests began! I had decided to stay back, since I was one of the 91 from yesterday, so handed out flyers and talked to folk on the street.
For those wondering why we chose where and what, we targeted the entire Congress because passing the Communty Choice Act, and getting long term care into health care reform is quite literally, a matter of life and death!
While my group was swept up practically at the speed of light, arrests are proceeding at a snail’s pace on the Senate side, so those of us who weren’t busted are hanging tight.
Stay tuned!
