Occupy Wall Street Wins, Then Celebrates with Citywide Protests
Following a huge and rapid public outcry that included hundreds of thousands of online petition signatures and phone calls to New York City Mayor Bloomberg, a threatened clean-up/eviction of Occupy Wall Street's home base at LIberty Square was postponed just before a 7 AM deadline on Friday, October 14 as thousands of protesters massed at Liberty Square to defend Occupy Wall Street.
The next day saw a sea of protests starting at Liberty Square when thousands marched around Wall Street targeting Chase Bank which leads all others in predatory foreclosure evictions. It moved to college protests at NYC's Washington Square Park featuring numerous issues including health care. Protesters then converged on Times Square culminating a day in solidarity with protesters around the country and the world in a new mass movement which is now just one month old.
