針對普遍存在的頂層腐敗、貧窮和美國的不平等社會的抗議集會在擴濶中，兩星期前開始於紐約，目前已散播至全國各地超過 1,000個城市，按新聞電視報導。
Protest superstars such as Green Party leader and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader have boosted protester enthusiasm.

The "Occupy Wall Street" movement began demonstrations against corporate greed and unemployment in mid-September and has continued staging protest rallies.

On Thursday, activists kicked off the "October 2011" protest by occupying Freedom Plaza, near the White House and Washington DC's downtown business and corporate section.
Rallies have spread from Freedom Plaza to McPherson Square, where "Occupy DC" is being staged by people that are younger and more grassroots.
Demonstrators are protesting the US financial system, corporatism, and joblessness, among other things.
They blame Wall Street practices and corporate influence on White House policies for the deepening of US economic crisis.
"We need to stop investing in privatization. We need to start worrying about the 99 percent of the population. We need to start investing our money into social welfare programs," one protester said.
The members of the Occupy Wall Street movement have vowed to stay on through the winter.
Protesters use the slogan "We are the 99 percent" to call attention to the fact that they are not part of the one percent of Americans in possession of the nation's wealth.
