Occupy Wall Street movement gains momentum
The Occupy Wall Street movement is gaining momentum, and not just in New York – it’s spreading across the country, to places like Boston, Miami, and Seattle. As the number of people camped out in Zuccotti Park in New York and other American cities grows, so does the amount of media coverage and the number of incidents involving clashes between police and protesters. Three protesters offer their dispatches from the demonstrations. Karen Higgins, is a registered nurse and co-president of the National Nurses Union in Boston. She was in New York to show her support for Occupy Wall Street on Wednesday. Frank Williams works for a non-profit in New York and has been on the streets with Occupy Wall Street since the weekend. On the West Coast, Mark Taylor-Canfield has been camped out in downtown Seattle with Occupy Seattle.
