Catholic Workers protest

Share

About 100 demonstrators, organized by the Catholic Worker movement, picketed at Prudential Plaza and passed out rolls to commuters in what they called a symbolic invitation to break bread with world leaders expected here this weekend for the NATO summit.

Dozens of demonstrators dashed into the building housing President Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters Monday morning and slipped past security guards, running up escalators as they kicked off what they called a “Week Without Capitalism.” Eight protesters were led out in handcuffs about half an hour later after they refused to clear the lobby. They were cheered by other demonstrators who began dancing and singing folk and gospel songs.
