From Tahrir Square to Times Square: Demonstrations Erupt in Over 1,500 Cities Worldwide | NationofChange

Where does the  protest go from here?  Attention worldwide and all over the WWW is significant and the participants are diverse as a 69 year old teacher to Mohawks in Canada.  It just gets mort interesting and remains peaceful so far.

From Tahrir Square to Times Square: Demonstrations Erupt in Over 1,500 Cities Worldwide | NationofChange:

The movement's success is due in part to the use of online technologies and international social networking. The rapid spread of the protests is a grassroots response to the overwhelming inequalities perpetuated by the global financial system and transnational banks. More actions are expected in the coming weeks, and the Occupation of Liberty Square in Manhattan will continue indefinitely.

Occupy Wall Street is a people powered movement that began on September 17, 2011 in Liberty Square in Manhattan’s Financial District, and has spread to over 100 cities in the United States and actions in over 1,500 cities globally. #OWS is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations.The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Italy and the UK, and aims to expose how the richest 1% of people who are writing the rules of the global economy are imposing an agenda of neoliberalism and economic inequality that is foreclosing our future.
