RECAP:

On November 17th (#N17) Occupy Saint Louis united with various unions, community groups and citizens for a 700+ person march and action for jobs. The march headed to the MLK bridge to urge Congress to invest in good jobs by putting Americans to work rebuilding our physical and social infrastructure.
