The freshly evicted Occupy Wall Street protesters may not have a home, but they’re booked solid Thursday. Tens of thousands of the 99 percenters plan a citywide event that will begin at 7 a.m. on the two-month anniversary of the movement. The march will start in the financial district, with the goal of interfering with the work day.
By midday, protesters will target public transportation hubs, while students are urged to stage walkouts. The trains will ship the demonstrators to lower Manhattan’s Foley Square where a rally will take place—backed by the city’s unions and reportedly supported by a permit. While no details of police preparation have been released, there are reports that police will begin their work day at 4 a.m. Late Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported that only 16 people were in Zuccotti Park. Meanwhile, in downtown San Francisco Wednesday dozens of protesters invaded a branch of the bank, chanting “shame, shame.” In more than two hours, 100 were reported arrested.
