EPA Warns Employees -- Occupy Washington, DC is coming to protest!!!
Today Occupy Washington, DC protested the lax clean air standards of the Obama administration under EPA administrator Lisa Jackson.
After the protest an EPA employee visited us to tell it was a great protest and provided us a copy of an email all EPA employees received warning of the occupiers visiting the Agency. Below is a copy of the email.
Protesters Expected at EPA HQ on Thursday, 11/10/11

- All day Thursday, EPA guards will chck badges outside the entrance rather than inside. Please have your badge ready so guards can easily check your photo.

We want to thank EPA Security for alerting all of the EPA to our protest. One of our goals was to make sure employees of the EPA knew we were protesting the Agency and you did the job for us!

In early October as Lynn and I walked from The White House back to Freedom Plaza, carrying STOP THE PIPELINE signs, a thirty-something in a suit gave us the thumbs up sign. He said he worked for the EPA... and fully supported stopping the Tar Sands Pipeline. We engaged in conversation and he told us the EPA was not even involved in the process... it (the EPA) had been circumvented... and they were pissed.
Join Occupy EPA/the No FEAR Coalition on Wednesday November 16th (Freedom Plaza, Washington, DC) in support of victims of mountain top removal. Thanks to the Occupy Washington, DC community for their support of victims of EPA abuse and betrayal. We demand that President Obama and EPA administrator Lisa Jackson reverse their pro-corporate decision on clean air/smog control. Thousands of people depend on us.
