Occupy Wall Street’s Day of Action

The Takeaway

They may have lost their home in Zuccotti Park, but Occupy Wall Street made its presence felt in Lower Manhattan on Thursday. Nearly 300 people were arrested as Occupy Wall Street protesters marked the movement’s two month anniversary with a “Day of Action.” Demonstrators attempted to delay the opening of the New York Stock Exchange. They later held demonstrations on New York City’s subway system before gathering for a march across the Brooklyn Bridge. And it wasn’t just New York. Demonstrations were held across the country as the movement plans its next moves.   Takeaway Digital Editor Ben Johnson  marched across the bridge with the protesters last night.  Bob Hennelly, senior reporter at Takeaway co-producer WNYC, talks about where the protests will go next.
