Hundreds of demonstrators rallied in Charlotte on Sunday in a protest ahead of the Democratic National Convention. Organizers of the “March on Wall Street South” said they have mobilized to highlight the corporatist policies of both Democrats and Republicans.

Ben Carroll: “We’re going to organize, and we’re going to fight back. And that people feel really frustrated and rejected by the political system, that politicians of both parties aren’t doing anything to represent the interests of people and, at the end of the day, are representing the interests of these same banks and corporations here in Charlotte.”
