| Occupy the Courts nationwide. |
|
Occupy the Courts will be a one day occupation of Federal courthouses across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Friday January 20, 2012.
Circle the Court - a day to encircle the Federal courthouse in Phoenix with thousands of people (hopefully) carrying signs concerning corporate personhood, rescinding Citizens United.
