occupybaltimore mic check's Karl Rove

On Tuesday evening, November 15th, 2011, approximately 60 participants from #occupybaltimore, convened at Johns Hopkins University to deliver the following public statement to Karl Rove, former aide to President George W. Bush, and current Republican strategist:

“Mic Check! Karl Rove is the Architect. The Architect of 'Occupy Iraq.' The Architect of 'Occupy Afghanistan.' The Architect of tax cuts for the 1%. The 99% think it's time to #Occupy the Architect. To #Occupy the Architecture. Occupy Wall Street. Occupy Baltimore. Occupy Johns Hopkins. Occupy America. Liberate America. Occupy everything. Occupy everywhere. Occupy together. We are the 99%.”

JHU escorted identified #occupybaltimore participants from the campus once the statement was made. Throughout Rove’s lecture, protests continued from #occupybaltimore participants, along with multiple unaffiliated critics of Rove’s destructive impact on the global 99%.

Since October 4, #cccupybaltimore participants have held a 24-7 encampment at McKeldin Square, at the corner of Pratt and Light Streets in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, in solidarity with the global #cccupy movement, and the 99% of Americans who struggle against the social, economic, and political inequalities of our current system.
