Occupy Wallstreet Protests At the New York Stock Exchange



Hundreds of police barricaded the New York Stock Exchange as Occupy Wall Street protesters swarmed the Financial District for the movement's one-year anniversary. A group of 50 protesters entered the lobby of the JPMorgan Chase building, and eight were reportedly arrested. The OWS movement, sparked by protests last year against corporate greed, income inequality and the corrupting influence of money in politics, was inactive for several months. Monday's protest comes in the wake of three days of civic activism intended to breathe new life into the movement, ahead of its one-year anniversary.
