Occupy K Street is a group of people of diverse cultures that got together for their voices to be heard on issues that are current and relevant. They are the voices for all those in poverty, those who lost their job during the recession, those with college degrees working minimum wage jobs, those who are paying off their student debt and those who are facing foreclosures on their homes. They fight for justice which would be an organic change in our society. “It’s just not fair that the rich gets richer why the poor gets poorer”. We have to decide what it is that we want to do and get together so that our voices can too be heard. If God is willing, the world will become a better place.

Daniel del Pielago and Abigail De Roberts of the Latino Media Collective interviewed these individuals to better understand their outlook. There were quite a few segments but we chose just a few in the following audio segment that aired on WPFW on October 12, 2011:
