“There’s a major divide between the rich and the poor in this country. One in 10 people are unemployed and my vote is nullified by corporate lobbyists.”-Alexander Holmes, from Oakland, California
People from main street U.S.A. are protesting on corporate America’s Wall Street. They started on September 17, and they’re still going!
New York Times reported at least six arrests by September 19. Two men and a woman were arrested for wearing ski masks. It is illegal in New York city for two or more people to wear masks in public, I wounder what’s gonna happen at Halloween?
Another man was arrested after he told police that he was having trouble walking. Another woman was arrested after she wrote something on the sidewalk with chalk.
The New York Times confirmed that people are coming from all over the U.S. such as Massachusetts, Michigan, Virginia, New Jersey and Washington State.
Protesters say they’ve been inspired by the Arab Spring uprisings, and they hope to continue protesting just as long as their Arab peers have.
