It is Time to Keep Marching to Take Back America’s Dream | Truthout

Attendees at the Take Back the American Dream conference piled into buses at high noon Wednesday and took their stand on the grounds of the Capitol, joined by hundreds of other demonstrators, from grassroots activists to dozens of unemployed people.

The above video tells the story better than words. The rally was dominated by the stories of the casualties of the class war conservatives are now waging on working-class and middle-class people. Among them were people like Linda Evans, a Washington D.C. resident who has been looking for work for two years. As she looks for work, she is also leading an arts organization that reaches out to low-income youth.
