On Saturday, November 19th, a group of DC community members going by the name "Free Franklin" entered and occupied the vacant Franklin School building in downtown Washington, DC at 13th and K St NW. Protesting the lack of housing for the city's homeless, Free Franklin seeks to demonstrate the act of occupation as a means of redistributing resources to meet community needs. Following a festive and roving puppet cabaret highlighting social movement struggles in DC, Free Franklin unveiled the surprise occupation of the former homeless shelter. A public statement on the action is available in its entirety at: freefranklindc.blogspot.com
