The protest, which began today in Washington, D.C. and continues through the weekend, is called 14th Now. They’re using the hashtag #14thNow to promote it online. [...]
Denson emphasized that an “actual physical show of people peacefully demanding that Congress do their job is necessary to change the conversation.

The protest will continue for the next two days (Jan 5-6) in Washington, D.C.
