It’s been recently reported that Occupy Wall Street is going on the road.  The movement is literally growing legs and will take a two-week walk to Washington.  The march will consist of a small group of activist that will leave Zuccotti Park, in Manhattan, today at noon and the plan is to arrive in Washington on Nov. 23.  This date marks the deadline for a congressional committee to decide whether to keep President Barack Obama’s extension of Bush-era tax cuts. Protesters say the cuts benefit only rich Americans.

The vision for this 240-mile march is to pick up others along the way to mirror the long distance walks led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights era.  It’s also been reported that they’ll overnight by camping or at volunteered accommodations.  This march has been said to be organized by Kelly Brannon with a dozen others assisting the efforts of this march.
