Over 1000 spell out “TAX THE 1%”
On Saturday, October 29th, over 1000 Americans laid their bodies down on a San Francisco beach to spell out “TAX THE 1%.” This protest was just the latest, and possibly most spectacular yet, in the wave of protests that have swept the nation since protesters occupied Wall Street, launching the “We are the 99%” movement.

The crowd was estimated at over 1000, including two San Francisco City Supervisors, John Avalos and Eric Mar.
