Washington, beware: Democracy Spring is officially on its way to “reclaim the People’s House.”

 

So declared Kai Newkirk, Democracy Spring’s campaign director, who spoke to Breitbart News on Saturday while the movement marched outside the city limits of Philadelphia.

 

“We are going to disrupt business as usual until our demands are reached,” stated Newkirk.

 

The coalition of far-left groups plotting mass civil disobedience, with thousands pledging to risk arrest, launched its operation on Saturday at Liberty Bell in Philadelphia’s Independence Mall.

 

From there, the revolutionaries have set out on a 10-day trek with eight stops in total, culminating in a sit-in in Washington, D.C. on April 11 that is slated to last at least five days and is supposed to be the movement’s main event.

 

Newkirk vowed: “If by the time we get to DC, Congress doesn’t respond to our demands then we will sit in and nonviolently reclaim the People’s House and they will have to make a choice between listening to the vast majority of the people who want them to take action against corruption and big money in politics or arresting us all and having us sent to jail.”

Springtime for socialists.
