Fr. Bill "Bix" Bichsel and Chiara Wood joined the Occupy Tacoma march this afternoon.
OCCUPY TACOMA >>>
The banks get bailed out, We got sold out. Whose streets? Our streets. The streets of Tacoma. Occupy Tacoma.
Little by little, the surging national movement known as Occupy Wall Street is gaining momentum and adherents in Tacoma, as a was indicated by the gathering today.
Around 442 people gathered in People's Park on Hilltop Tacoma around 1 p.m. before marching through the street of Tacoma in solidarity. The peaceful, diverse crowd waved signs and chanted past government offices, the jail, investment firms, stopping at Wells Fargo Plaza and ended their journey at Tollefson Plaza for speeches and bonding.
"This event will grow. I'm glad I came," said Chiara Wood, a Tacoma business owner. "I'm a small business owner with no benefits, no retirement and on the verge of being eligible for no Medicare. I am the 99 percent and an American patriot."
The message was loud and clear that Occupy Tacoma is an organic, self-organized movement. And those with the loudest voices encouraged everyone to gather on the Occupy Tacoma Facebook.

Right on! The consolidation of political and financial power in the hands of a tiny, tiny elite makes America a plutocracy. We need to overturn Citizens United vs FEC, reinstate the Glass-Steagal Act, and raise the top marginal income and the capital gains tax. Occupy everywhere!
