Over twenty people demoed in Washington DC this weekend at the homes and offices of HLS collaborators.




Friday, 15th August:
25 people protested outside of offices of Barclay's Capital at 1501 K Street NW, Suite 500 as well as outside Vanguard Group at 2121 K St NW # 300, both investors in HLS. Media covered the event and passersby were very interested. The group was so loud and energetic that it got the attention of people blocks away from the protest.

Saturday, 16th August:
20 people protested outside the home of Barclay's Capital
manager, Marlene Nicholson. Neighbors came outside to
watch and talk with activists. The group then moved on to the ritzy condominium complex of Sara Garland,
government relations for HLS customer, Abbott Laboratories, in NW.

Sunday, 17th August:
17 people protested outside of the home of Jennifer Luray in NW making lots of noise and having plenty of conversations with the neighbors about the profits Jennifer is making off of this unethical company. All of her neighbors were very supportive and one even asked us to stay longer.

Protesters then moved on to the home of Alice Rivlin who is a member of NYSE. The police unconstitutionally broke up the protest but not before lots of ranting on two bullhorns. Neighbors again came out to watch, take fliers, and ask questions. One couple even stopped us to thank us for being there!
