Occupy DC Protest At Dinner With Harrison Ford
News

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Occupy DC protesters are hoping their occupation of Union Station reaches one famous actor. Harrison Ford was at a fancy dinner with high-powered CEOs
and standing right in front of the restaurant entrance were 200 screaming demonstrators.

The group was trying to interrupt a $1,000-a-plate dinner -- the Conservation International Dinner -- at Union Station's East Hall where actor Harrison Ford was the keynote speaker.  It also featured representatives from Northrop Grumman and Wal-Mart.

The CEO of Wal-Mart was inside eating with Harrison Ford when protesters blasted that he is part of the "1 %."
