At 3 p.m. today, Occupy Wall Street protesters will be fanning out across the city to talk with people in train stations. They will be at Borough Hall, Court Street between Joralemon and Montague, at 3 p.m.
"Throughout all five boroughs, we wll gather at 16 central subway hubs to listen to a singular story from one of our hardest hit and most inspirational neighbors," a flier reads.
Early Tuesday morning, police cleared Zuccotti Park, the home of the movement for the past two months. Meanwhile, the Occupy Brooklyn faction has been growing, focusing on corporate development projects launched in conjunction with the city, like Atlantic Yards.

You do not need to be religious to understand -and embrace- the idea that "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." But in their blind greed and schemes, the 1% has forgotten and closed their eyes to what the word "society" should really mean. Because of Occupy Wall Street and its offshoots, we are finally talking less about CUTS and more about BLEEDING. Instead of demanding more budget cuts -to be borne by the middle class and poor- we are FINALLY focusing on the shameful bleeding that the poor and middle class has endured for all too long. Instead of talking about even more millionaire tax we're now talking about fairness and justice - about an economy and a political system that is run for the rich, and by the rich. Instead of talking about LESS government, we are talking about a government that WORKS FOR ALL OF US, not just a favored few.
