Occupy Wall Street protesters are converging in the Financial District
in Manhattan to mark the first anniversary of the movement’s beginning.
Similar protests are taking place in dozens of cities today.
On Sept. 17, 2011, thousands of people answered the call originally put
out by the Canadian-based magazine "Adbusters" to occupy Wall Street.
Protesters slept in Zuccotti Park for nearly two months before the New
York City police raided the encampment. We look back at some of
Democracy Now!'s earliest coverage of the movement. We interview Rage
Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello at Sunday's anniversary
concert in New York City’s Foley Square, and get a live update on the
action unfolding today in the streets with Citizen Radio’s Allison
Kilkenny.
