Can you hear us, Wall Street?

October 1, 2011
Zuccotti Park, Wall Street, NY














Hot off the presses -- hours old! The Occupied Wall Street Journal

























A message from Anonymous to Wall St., New York, and the protesters.





Just as the march was beginning to get underway, flute sounds of "When the Saints Go Marching In" rose over the crowd. I turned to look, and there was this man.













Inspired by the massive public protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and Madrid’s Puerta del Sol Square, hundreds have camped out in a square near Wall Street since Sept. 17, 2011, as part of a campaign dubbed "Occupy Wall Street."

Protests in the financial district took a dramatic turn on Saturday Oct. 1 when protesters tried to march across the Brooklyn Bridge. When police arrested 700 of the demonstrators, the event quickly turned into one of the largest arrests of non-violent protesters in recent history. Some protesters claim police lured them onto oncoming traffic on the bridge’s roadway; others said they did not hear instructions from police telling them to use the pedestrian walkway. ~Democracy Now!
