Union members who work in various public sectors swarmed Capitol Hill with accompanying protesters Wednesday, wielding paper plates to represent the basic needs they lack without paychecks and chanting to end the shutdown.
Per CNN, the protesters plan to head to the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and other lawmakers when Capitol Police clear them out of the Hart Senate building where they are currently stationed.

The more protests there are in the Halls of Republicans, the more there will be all over the US.
Keep it civil, but make your voices known. Put the heat on these bastards, even the Republican women supporting Trump.

properties in negative cash flow. See how it likes it.

picketing on his stuff and any other properties that bear trumps name...
Good god, have these people no brains? Hit trump where it hurts and maximizing exposure.
