Occupy Wall Street: At ‘Day of Action’ the Movement Vows to Fight On

In the days leading up to the Nov. 17 Global Day of Action, Occupy Wall Street protesters planned several events, including a 7 a.m. march to shut down Wall Street.

They didn’t successfully stop trading—the markets opened on time at 9:30 sharp—but their post-eviction protest against corporate America was successful in other ways.

Yesterday, on the movement’s two-month anniversary, hundreds of protesters gathered in Zuccotti Park and marched two blocks south to Wall Street. Anticipating their arrival, the NYPD had already barricaded the financial district, stopping the marchers a block from Wall Street itself.
