A small group of people calling themselves “DC Citizens for Open Streets,” including Green Party candidate for D.C. shadow representative, Adam Eidinger, held a small protest near a Capitol Hill checkpoint this morning. The protestors held signs, one reading “De-militarize DC” to Mr. Eidinger called the checkpoints “arbitrary and unnecessary” in a press release posted on his website. The activists reported a mixed reaction from the public: with “most” agreed with their message or honked in support, while some disagreeing.

The participants have put a video clip from WRC/NBC-4’s coverage of their protest online.
