News: Protest at the Ritz Carlton
March 9, 2010
Written by our sometimes contributer Mallory Thompson
Thousands of protesters marched from Dupont Circle to the Ritz Carlton in West End today to attempt “citizen’s arrests” of insurance executives. The hotel is the site of the industry’s annual policy conference.
“We are here to make a citizen’s arrest! Congress you have listened to them long enough. It’s time to listen to us,” said William McNary, the head of the liberal US Action Group.
Of course, police are detaining protesters before they ever got near insurance executives. ABC News reports one of the first “symbolic detentions” was Anna Burger, head of the “Change to Win” labor coalition and SEIU’s Secretary-Treasurer. In total, MPD says there were 10 “symbolic detentions” at the Ritz.
Protesters are tired of rising premiums, denials of claims and the insurance industry efforts to kill or block reform and say it’s time to hold them accountable.
The “Citizen’s Posse” protest began with a speech in Dupont Circle by former DNC chairman Howard Dean.
The giant crowd is now disbanding, but the group also has events planned for the rest of the week in Washington DC and across the country.
