District settles protest lawsuit. The District said Monday it has agreed to pay more than $13 million to settle a lawsuit by protesters arrested during demonstrations nine years ago.
The preliminary agreement includes a maximum payment of $18,000 to each of the 680 people who were arrested at the April 2000 protests tied to meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. D.C. Attorney General Peter J. Nickles said the maximum payout, including attorneys’ fees, is $13.3 million. However, because of the cap on individual payouts, the total could be less, depending on how many people come forward. Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, of the Partnership for Civil Justice, said that in addition to the $13.3 million for the class, there are some additional payments for specific plaintiffs who claim they were beaten, bringing the total to $13.7 million. As part of the settlement, D.C. police assigned to demonstrations and officers from partner agencies will receive enhanced training, Ms. But Mr. Ms. After the arrests, Mr. If Obama Doesn't Want to Lead the Revolution - Young People Will. Thirty years ago - Ronald Reagan led a counter-revolution in America against the revolutions of the New Deal and the Great Society.
It was a counter-revolution that ripped our economy from the hands of the middle class....and handed it off to the wealthiest corporate CEOs and Banksters in the world - letting America's oligarchs run the show. Now - thirty years later - we know how that counter-revolution turned out - and the backlash - or revolution - against Reagan, and subsequent Presidents who carried on his principles, is underway. The Streets of lower Manhattan are buzzing today with America's next generation of leaders - young people in their twenties - who will inevitably determine the direction of this nation - but first - must wrestle back power from Reagan's oligarchs who work on Wall Street. The poverty rate for young families under 30 years old is a staggering 37% - the highest ever recorded in the history of this nation.
