This is a news picture story of a protest in Flemington on April 17, 2012.

1. A Protest in Flemington
On Tuesday, April 17th, protestors gathered in front of Flemington’s post office. The protest was organized in part by Moveon.org, a
website devoted to helping citizens (or, as it was called on the website, the 99 percent) voice their opinions. Flemington’s protest
was one of many around America done to demonstrate against the low taxes paid by corporations. The date of April 17th was
specifically chosen, as it was the last day for people to file taxes. Approximately seventeen people were part of Flemington’s protest.
Because a last-minute police permit only allowed up to ten people to remain at the post office, several protestors marched around
Flemington, holding signs to show their opinions. By Caroline Miller and Erin Friend - A Friendly Miller

2. Suki Dewey was one of the key organizers
of the protest. Prior to the protest, she
attended training, organized by
MoveOn.org, to learn how to properly
organize a protest. Dewey is no stranger to
protests. She has attended ones protesting
the Gulf War, for example. Dewey is also
an ardent environmentalist, and believes
that the taxes corporations avoid could be
used to help pay for climate solutions
caused by corporations. Outside of
protesting, Dewey works with various
environmental organizations and schools to
help raise environmental awareness.

3. Helen Larmore of Flemington, believes that while America is an “awesome country,” more needs to be done to raise taxes of large
corporations. She believes this can be done in part through protests, to raise awareness, although she believes that more people
need to join the protests for awareness to be possible. “More young people need to join,” she said, adding, “They’re going to be
responsible for the government soon.”

4. Deb Huber is a long time protestor– a career that
first started during the 1960’s in the anti-Vietnam
movement, soon spread into the feminist movement.
More recently, she has been part of pro-fracking
protests, and also joined the “Occupy Movement” in
Zirconi Park, NYC (that’s where her shirt, stating
that she is “the 99%” is from). Along with
demonstrating against corporations’ lack of taxes on
April 17th, Huber also protested the financial
inequality between women and men; as a board
member of the National Women’s Advocacy, Huber
tries to tie in women’s rights to all of her causes.

5. Protestor and environmental activist Bill Wolfe, is flashed an obscene gesture from a man driving by
the protest. This incites an irate Wolfe to action. “F*** you,” he yells as the man speeds away. Suki
Dewey, another protestor, silences his tirade immediately. “Hey. We don’t do that here. We won’t
have any of that here,” she said. “You stop, or you get out.”

6. A calmer Wolfe stands with fellow protestor, Deb Huber. One of Huber’s main goals in
the organization of this protest is to keep it as peaceful as possible, while inspiring the
public to question what they know about the 99% movement.

7. Huber poses with her many signs, hoping to send a message to the younger generation. “We
need more young people to start becoming part of this,” she said. “Their lack of participation
is reprehensible.” She fears, that before long, the generation that cares too little today, will
have virtually no control over what they could have had a say in tomorrow.
