Encampment Youth Occupy the Streets





The Encampment to Stop the War has moved to the streets!

Youth activists, veterans, and antiwar organizers have taken the street near Constitution Ave., Pennsylvania Ave., and 4th St. NW in the middle of Washington, D.C.

Several hundred people have completely shut down the street, including people from as far away as Oregon and Florida. They intend to keep the street closed for as long as possible.

Hundreds of supporters have gathered on the sidewalks, as youth are erecting tents from the Encampment in the middle of the street.

They are asking for the progressive and antiwar community in the area to come out and support them. Bring food, water, signs, and join youth from across the U.S. who are moving from protest to resistance to shut down the war.

For more information, or to find out how you can help, call 202-821-3686.

As of 8:40 pm, about 100 youth from the Encampment are still occupying Constitution Ave., which they have now blocked for more than 5 hours.

Local activists have turned out with food and water to support this action.
