1000 march on Koch Industries in DC

The march on the Koch brothers.

About a thousand superenergetic people marched to drumbeats from the Treasury Department to Koch Industries' office in downtown Washington, D.C. As tons of drivers honked in solidarity, marchers chanted,

David Koch, Don't You Know
You Don't Get To Run the Show

And

Don't Harass the Middle Class

Teamsters were joined by members of unions and the NAACP as people on the street stopped to see what was going on. The march followed speeches by SEIU's Mary Kay Henry, UFCW's Joe Hansen and CWA's Larry Cohen. Protesters signed a petition to the union-busting billionaires, "demanding this fraud on workers stop," and it was delivered to the office.

Earlier, Steve Greenberg, a Fairfax public school teacher, told the crowd how he'd moved from Ohio to Virginia, a right-to-work (for LESS) state. He said, "When collective bargaining is removed, students suffer. Workers have no voice. This is about billionaire bankers who hurt this country and blame it on the workers. God bless the hardworking Americans who toil."
