To mark the one-year anniversary of the start of the Occupy D.C. movement, at least 50 protesters gathered in downtown Washington on Monday morning to march down K Street and attempt to disrupt traffic.
The demonstration was the start of what the group says will be a larger, week-long protest against "what they see as the undue influence of corporate money in politics," The Washington Post reports.
Below are some scenes from Monday morning's protest.
