Occupy the New Hampshire Primary!

This weekend I spend some time photographing the Occupy movement as they came out of the woodwork to occupy the New Hampshire Primary as well as point out the injustice and inequality of the election system in America today. Without further ado, here are the photos.

November 17th National Day of Action

On the day of November 17th, millions of people around the world congregated together in solidarity the Occupy Wall Street movement. While turning out significantly fewer numbers than large cities like Boston New York and Denver; Burlington, Vermont was witness to several hundred protestors and occupiers on the move.

Partially as a reminder to Burlingtonians about the recent shut-down of their camp, partially in solidarity with the National Association of Letter Carriers, Occupy Burlington showed, with surprising numbers and volume, that it refuses to gently into that good night.
