Occupy the Burgh

So two weekends ago, I attended the Occupy Pittsburgh protest. With my cardboard sign that fit perfectly around my camera lens, I pulled double-duty as protester and photographer. In the beginning, we were a small group at the top of Uptown but as we began to march, I looked back and saw a sea of people. As it turns out, we had a crowd of around 2,000, the same as Chicago! Although I cannot be downtown at the campsite due to my crazy work schedule (oddly enough, I am still a part of the 99% despite my working three jobs...yay, America!), I drove past the site the other day and saw a cluster of tents! I am hoping this movement gets on its feet and makes a real change in this country's policies.

In the meantime, check out some of the photos from the rally.
