This was the scene in Dupont Circle on Sunday. If you didn't know, this weekend was the Spring Meetings of the World Bank and IMF. Its been a couple years since people paid any attention to the banks. Seattle was a bazillion years ago. But now that so much bailout money is going to the IMF, people are paying attention again.
What I liked about these guys was how ascetically appealing they were. In addition to the way-better-than-average- protest signs, they had adorable fliers. They definitely have some artists in their midst.
It's hard to say how many people actually showed up for the protest. Dupont Circle is pretty packed on a sunny Sunday and people tend to stop for a minute. If they had 50 or sixty protesters, it was a lot. (I'm not including cops.) They did; however, have camera crews. That's a coup, especially if they got coverage.
