Are there any female OWS activists here? [View all]

I have been wondering if there are any plans to occupy the halls of congress in response to the outrage of Congressman Issa and other anti-birth control, anti-woman Congressmen? Are there any plans for occupying the office of the governor of VA prior to his signing the ultrsound bill?

I am on the record here at DU as a proud supporter of OWS. We need their voices and presence again for the sake of reproductive freedom in this country.

Please, can you tell us where the movement stands with this issue?
