A group of activists from Occupy Wall Street are preparing to set off Thursday on a march to Washington DC to confront the Congressional Supercommittee on its plan to cut social programs while continuing tax cuts for the rich.

They will walk around twenty miles a day and stay at the homes of supporters along the route, and plan to arrive in Washington in time for the November 23rd deadline for the so-called supercommittee to announce over a trillion dollars in budget cuts.

KBOO’s Jenka Soderberg spoke with Michael Grazier, one of the march organizers.
