Protestors Evicted From Wall Street
| International News by Staff ReporterAs plans for a huge carnival on Thursday are announced
Police have started evicting protesters from Zuccotti Park in New York’s financial district ahead of the Occupy Wall Street movement’s two-month anniversary of their campaign against economic inequality.The Occupy Wall Street movement began on September 17 when a group of protesters set up camp in Zuccotti Park to campaign against a financial system aimed at benefiting only corporations and the wealthy, according to the movement.
As the group’s two-month anniversary approaches it was announced that a huge street carnival would be held on Thursday that would “shut down Wall Street.” Police have since been called in to begin temporarily evicting protesters from the site.
Demonstrators have planned to march from their camp headquarters to Wall Street and then disperse via the city’s subway system to tell the stories of disenfranchised Americans.
“For too long, Wall Street has crushed our communities in its blind pursuit of profit,” the movement says on its Facebook page. “But our numbers and our relationships are more powerful than their money. Join Occupy Wall Street and 99%ers from across the country as we shut down the stock market by throwing ...a block party the 1% will never forget.
“On the morning of November 17, we will shut down Wall Street. We will ring the People’s Bell, and initiate a street carnival in which we rebuild and celebrate the neighborhoods that the Wall Street economy has destroyed.
”Wall Street has destroyed our neighborhoods. Let’s rebuild them on top of Wall Street.”
