Anti-Wall Street Protesters Prep For "Massive" March As effort spreads outside of NYC, Big Apple organizers look to double down.
http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/10/01/wall_street_protestors_take_to_brooklyn_bridge_nypd_arrests_larg.html? UPDATE: As the Occupy Wall Street protests continue to spread to other cities, New York’s protesters are doubling down as unions, community groups, college students and the unemployed stream to the Financial District to protest against corporate greed and financial inequality.
The New York Daily News reports that the recent reinforcements of new recruits will make Tuesday’s planned 4:30 p.m. march from City Hall to Wall Street the biggest Occupy Wall Street event yet. "It's going to be massive," John Samuelsen, president of the local transit workers union, told the paper.
One protester, NYU professor Andrew Ross, urged even more to tag along, saying, "Join us to protest the arrest of 700 marchers on the Brooklyn Bridge while the banksters who wrecked the economy remain free.”
Elsewhere, activists all over the world are organizing and mobilizing, and similar protests have sprung up to varying degrees in cities like Prague, Frankfurt, Toronto, Melbourne and Tokyo.
