My Quest to DC

We the youth of The Central District Organization went on a trip to Washington DC. I think the trip was amazing. It left a lasting impression on me. Seeing people from all over the country, black, white, brown, yellow, all there for one thing (Change). The issues we stressed were houses being foreclosed, people being homeless and poor in this rich nation, and immigration. We protested at the White House, the Federal Reserve Building,and the Homeland Security Building. We also went to the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke house. It was peaceful there were no arrest and no physical confrontation. This trip has influenced me to push harder to make a change in Gary.
