Occupy Wall Street protests

On September 17, 2011, hundreds of people descended on the streets of Manhattan's financial district. Their ongoing protests have spread from New York to dozens of other cities around the world. The movement aims to raise awareness about the role financial institutions played in the continued economic downturn affecting the world markets, and to show their discontent at the lukewarm attempts to prosecute those at fault.

 

The protests, collectively dubbed "Occupy Wall Street," are a decentralized and leaderless movement begun by activist magazine AdBusters and modeled after social-media-driven demonstrations in the Middle East.

 

Are you attending or covering the protests in Wall Street? Have you witnessed the marches, sit-ins, and arrests taking place? Send us your photos and video, and take a look at our 'Portraits of a protest' assignment too.
