The Occupation spreads to Albany

On October 21, the occupation of the capital of New York State began in the heart of downtown Albany in Lafayette Park.

The crowd continued to grow throughout the night, and despite threats of eviction/arrest from Governor Cuomo and Mayor Jerry Jennings, hundreds of people remained in the park past the 11pm curfew, many choosing to stay the night.





























Not visible in this photo: The APD "Mounted Police" trailers loaded up with horses, and the twenty police vans parked and "waiting?" a couple of blocks away.
