Local man joins Occupy Seattle protest
November 15, 2011
The ongoing demonstrations at Occupy Seattle and other Occupy Wall Street-inspired rallies launched a national discussion about economic and social equality.
The local demonstration also attracted Reece Allawatt, a Sammamish resident, Eastside Catholic High School alumnus and recent Gonzaga University graduate.
“It’s like the Constitution says. It’s ‘we the people.’ We’re the ones who have the power,” he said. “If we don’t like the way that our representatives are representing us as a people, then we have the right to voice our dissent.”
In between LSAT preparation and part-time jobs, Allawatt joined the crowd at Occupy Seattle.
“Some of us Occupys have real jobs that we actually have to take part in,” he quipped.
