Protestors march on Wall Street

Hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protestors clogged the streets of lower Manhattan Thursday morning on the second-month anniversary of the movement. Rousted from their temporary home in Zuccotti Park earlier this week by riot police sent in by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the group reformed nearby. It marched toward Wall Street this morning with its message of income inequality, blocking entrances of the NY Stock Exchange and hoping, but not succeeding, in disrupting the ringing of the opening bell. Cordons set up around the NYSE and roadblocks throughout the area kept the group somewhat in check, but they filled the streets, blocking traffic, marching and chanting in a "Day of Action" marking two-months of protest. Police, out in force, have made a number of arrests and a certain amount of confrontation is expected to continue throughout the day. The group had planned to occupy subway stations in each of the five boroughs, then take their message to Foley Square, outside NY's courthouses. "All day, all week shut down Wall Street," protestors chanted. "We are the 99%." This week is seen a crucial one for the movement after police removed tents and all personal items from Zuccotti Park that had made it possible for protestors to camp overnight, and become a fixture in the area. They now need to find alternate places to stay and reconvene each day. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com
