Thousands March on Washington's K Street as Financial Reform Fight Continues

CWA members joined several thousand protesters demanding financial reform at a rally in front of a "tower of corporate greed" on Washington's K Street.

Pouring rain didn't stop CWA members or 3,000 other union and community activists who turned out for the "Showdown on K Street," a giant rally and march in the heart of Washington's lobbying and banking district.

K Street has become synonymous with big money and corporate lobbying, where thousands of Wall Street lobbyists work to stop financial reform. Activists waved signs condemning Wall Street greed and demanding that bankers be held accountable for the consequences of their financial schemes.

This week, the Senate continued to pursue a financial reform bill.
