Citizens Ignited Against Citizens United - Seattle 1.21.12

"Citizens Ignited Against Citizens United" began at noontime with a rally at Westlake Park including speeches, music, and street theater, followed by a march at 2 PM which ended up at the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building.

The rallies will set in motion a public awareness campaign focused on corporate personhood and the Citizens United ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, which granted corporations the same free speech rights as individual citizens. The rallies are permitted and a trained peacekeeping cadre of volunteers will be in attendance.




Formed on Oct. 1, 2011, Occupy Seattle is a leaderless movement of concerned Americans who have taken to occupying public spaces in order to focus our nation's attention on the undue influence of large corporations on our government, elected leaders and our democracy itself. It is inspired by and modeled after the Occupy Wall Street movement.
