Scores of protests were held across the country on Friday to protest the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, which ruled corporations have a right to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns. Twelve people were arrested outside the U.S. Supreme Court. The actions were dubbed “Occupy the Courts.”

Tony, protester from Austin, Texas: “Today we’re here to protest the Citizens United decision and any decisions that support unlimited money being used to buy our elections.”

Paul King, from Brick, New Jersey: “I feel like corporate money is invading our politics and taking voices away from the common people. So I felt it’s important to kind of come out and be seen and possibly be heard.”

Vic, protester from Charlotte, North Carolina: “This is an unstoppable force, whether people want to recognize it as such or not. We’re up against a lot of odds, but like I said, there’s power in numbers. And if we get those numbers, you can’t stop it.”
