The Occupy Wall Street protest movement is trying to build momentum in Washington, with Occupy D.C. demonstrators planning to gather Thursday at Freedom Plaza.

The movement, which began in New York City to protest the United States’s “corrupt democratic process,” has spread to cities like D.C., Los Angeles and Chicago, gaining credibility as support from politicians and celebrities has grown.

Occupy D.C. protestors have been gathering in McPherson Square for planning meetings since Saturday--so far in relatively small numbers, compared to the New York movement.

Protestors marched to Capitol Hill on Wednesday, and plan to hold a rally and concert at Freedom Plaza at noon Thursday, according to their Web site.

I work nearby. Tomorrow, I'll try to get some pics if the filth haven't arrested and beaten them.
