Washington Encampment Date Protest Challenges Held
At the Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday evening, opposition to the chosen date for the Washington Encampment was clear. Post and Poste 151 join the protest, and the committee will present the issue to the Department Council of Administration to influence the National Council. A protest from enis ricinus accompanies the push, and a contingency may require moving the encampment to an earlier date, though the alternative date remains uncertain.
