Left-wing Shutdown DC protest blocks traffic around nation's capital

A left-wing protest in Washington, D.C., is blocking traffic to demonstrate against an administration and lawmakers they believe have failed them by not delivering on various promises.

"On Dec. 7, as Congress returns to the Capitol for the last week of the 2021 legislative calendar, we’re going to take bold direct action to demand that Congress and the administration take action to pass the programs that they promised us and we voted for," said a message on the Shutdown DC website. "We’re taking to the streets to shut down the backroom meetings and political theater that have failed to deliver the progress that our communities need."
