Teamsters get their protest on in LA, DC, PA, OH, IN...

The new Local 776 truck, outside the Pennsylvania Capitol.

We may have underestimated the size of the crowd protesting the Koch brothers in Washington. ThinkProgress tells us there were 2,000 people. And here's a detail we love: 

...(they) attempted to give Charles and David Koch an invitation to come out and speak with the protesters. Not surprisingly, the building’s doors were locked and no one was allowed inside. However, a representative from the real estate company which managed the building told an handful of organizers who attempted to deliver the invitation, “I’d be here with you guys if I wasn’t working right now.”

We haven't heard yet from our brothers and sisters in Harrisburg, Pa., but we do know Teamster Local 776's new truck was there. And we learned from the tweetosphere that Teamsters are rallying in Philadelphia. (UPDATE: Local number corrected from 76 to 776. Sorry guys!)

Rally in the rain in Sandusky, Ohio.

There will be rallies this afternoon all over Ohio, including a solidarity rally at Local 957 in Dayton and at the Greater Abyssinian Baptist Church in Cleveland, co-sponsored by Local 507.

Teamster members of Local 364 will march from the South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center to a "Respect Our Rights" rally later today.
And we know Teamsters from Local 630 in Los Angeles will be at IBEW's solidarity event tonight. We heard from @ibew1245:

Unions in our rally so far: IBEW 1245, Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 343, Teamsters Local 630, Carpenters Local 180

And that's just one of 20 solidarity rallies in California today. Which doesn't even include International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) members in all California and Pacific Northwest ports are flying the Wisconsin flag in their ports, according to the AFL-CIO's blog. The AFL-CIO also tells us:

On the East Coast, Longshoremen (ILA) on the ports of Charleston, Savannah, Ft. Lauderdale, Mobile, Philadelphia, and Bayonne are also flying the Wisconsin flag.

College students and professors are hosting more than 175 teach-ins across the country.

In Syracuse, N.Y., people will stand at 40 intersections to talk to people in their cars about what’s happening at a state level.
