Protests in D.C. Take Aim at Health Insurance, Financial Institutions, Oil & Gas Interests

In Washington, D.C., the People’s Action Institute led protests Wednesday outside the headquarters of Blackstone, UnitedHealth and American Gas Association. All three stand to benefit from the GOP budget framework passed Tuesday, which would shower tax cuts on the wealthy while slashing essential services like Medicaid.

Protester: “Use our taxpayer dollars for our healthcare, for our housing and to transition away from fossil fuels.”
